U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, in
opening remarks at her press conference in Islamabad on Thursday, addressed a wide
range of problems in Pakistan, including those faced by journalists. (The full statement is on
the website of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.) What was
especially gratifying was her mention of meeting with human rights defender and
former president of the Supreme Court Bar Association Asma Jahangir at her
home–a
request we made on Tuesday of Pillay and E.U. Foreign Policy Chief
Catherine Ashton, who was also on an official trip to Pakistan.
