Daily “Anjam” Karachi. (1966), daily “Kohistan” Lahore

PUJ for the reinstatement of the four lower grade

     The PFUJ has never favored extra constitutional and
 authoritarian governance regardless of its form- military or
Civilian. For it strongly believes that without a constitutional
   framework and democratic dispensation rooted in the
             consent and aspirations of the people

The Zia rule will remain a night-mare for a number of its features for a long time, but perhaps none of these gave warning
of the nature of the rule to come more strikingly in the very early years than the dictator’s decision to have four journalists
convicted and openly flogged.
The journalists and newspa-per workers organisations, consistent in reacting to all official actions against the press, urged
withdrawal of these measures. When its appeals went unheard and its requests for a di-alogue were turned down it
decided to stage protest rallies and court ar-rest by violating Section 144, normally an emergency law meant to restrict
assembly of more than four persons at any public place.

The protest started on April 30 in Lahore as announced, and daily a procession taken out from Lahore hotel to the
assembly hall and a group of four-offered arrest to the sympathiz-ing cheers of thousands of bystand-ers.

When that didn’t seem to be working and the movement kept go-ing, the dictator decided to raise the stakes. He asked
the sentence to in-clude flogging. If some of the journal-ists were lashed that would spread terror among the rest, it was
thought, and tire movement would collapse.

Accordingly, the group that was arraigned before the kangaroo court of a Major on May 13, 1978, was promptly
sentenced, among other things; to be given 5 lashes each. Within an hour of the judgment the sentence was actually
carried out. In the Kot Lakhpat jail, Nasir Zaidl, Khawar Naeem Hashmi and Iqbal Jafri were each stripped to their waist,

Code of Conduct
Like other trade unions, formed for mutual protection and economic betterment The Pakistan Federal Union of
Journalists desires and encourages its members to maintain good quality of workmanship and high standard of
conduct.
A member of the Union has two claims on his loyalty, one by his Union and one by his employer. These need
not clash so long as the employer complies with the agreed Union conditions and makes no demand for forms
of service incompatible with the honor of the profession or with the principles of-trade unionism.
1. A member should do nothing that would bring discredit on himself, his Union, his newspaper, or his
profession. He should study the rules of his Union, and should not, by commission or omission, act against the
interests of the Union.
2. Whether publication or suppression, the acceptance of a bribe by a journalist is one of the gravest
professional offences.
3. Every journalist should treat subordinates as considerately as he would desire to be treated by his superiors.
4. Freedom in the honest collection and publication of news facts and the rights of fair comment and criticism,
are principles, which every journalist should defend.
5. Unless the employer consents to a variation, a member who wishes to terminate his employment must give
notice according to agreement.
6. No member should seek promotion or seek to obtain the position of another journalist by unfair methods. A
member should not directly or indirectly, attempt to obtain for himself or any one else, any commission,
regular or occasional held by a freelance member of the Union.
PAKISTAN FEDERAL UNION OF
                       JOURNALISTS (PFUJ)
7. It is unprofessional conduct to exploit the labor of another journalist by plagiarism, or by using his copy for
linage purposes without permission.
8. Staff men who do linage work should be prepared to give up such work to conform with any pooling
scheme approved by the FEC or any Union plan to provide a freelance member with a means of earning a
living.
9. A member holding a staff appointment shall serve first the paper that employees him. In his own time a
member is free to engage in other creative work, but he should not undertake any extra work in his rest time
or holidays, if by so doing he is depriving an out of work member of a chance to obtain employment. Any
misuse of rest days won by the Union on the sound argument that periods of recuperation are needed after
strenuous hours of labor is damaging to trade unions aims for a shorter working week.
10. While a spirit of willingness to help other members should be encouraged at all times, members are under
a special obligation of honor to help an unemployed member to obtain work.
11. A journalist should fully realize his personal responsibility for every thing he sends to his paper or agency.
He should keep Union and professional secrets and respect all necessary confidences regarding sources and
information and private documents. He should not falsity information or documents, or distort of
misrepresent facts.
12. In obtaining news or pictures, reporters and Press photographers should do nothing that will cause pain or
humiliation to innocent, bereaved, or otherwise distressed persons. News pictures end documents should be
acquired by honest methods only.
13. Every journalist should keep in mind the danger in the laws of libel, contempt of court and copyright. In
reports of law court preceding it is necessary to observe and practice the rule of fair play to parties.

The journalists and newspa-per workers organisations, consistent in reacting to all official actions against the press, urged withdrawal of these measures. When its appeals went unheard and its requests for a di-alogue were turned down it decided to stage protest rallies and court ar-rest by violating Section 144, normally an emergency law meant to restrict assembly of more than four persons at any public place. The protest started on April 30 in Lahore as announced, and daily a procession taken out from Lahore hotel to the assembly hall and a group of four-offered arrest to the sympathiz-ing cheers of thousands of bystand-ers. When that didn’t seem to be working and the movement kept go-ing, the dictator decided to raise the stakes. He asked the sentence to in-clude flogging. If some of the journal-ists were lashed that would spread terror among the rest, it was thought, and tire movement would collapse. Accordingly, the group that was arraigned before the kangaroo court of a Major on May 13, 1978, was promptly sentenced, among other things; to be given 5 lashes each. Within an hour of the judgment the sentence was actually carried out. In the Kot Lakhpat jail, Nasir Zaidl, Khawar Naeem Hashmi and Iqbal Jafri were each stripped to their waist,

  • 16. PAKISTAN FEDERAL UNION OF JOURNALISTS (PFUJ) Code of Conduct Like other trade unions, formed for mutual protection and economic betterment The Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists desires and encourages its members to maintain good quality of workmanship and high standard of conduct. A member of the Union has two claims on his loyalty, one by his Union and one by his employer. These need not clash so long as the employer complies with the agreed Union conditions and makes no demand for forms of service incompatible with the honor of the profession or with the principles of-trade unionism. 1. A member should do nothing that would bring discredit on himself, his Union, his newspaper, or his profession. He should study the rules of his Union, and should not, by commission or omission, act against the interests of the Union. 2. Whether publication or suppression, the acceptance of a bribe by a journalist is one of the gravest professional offences. 3. Every journalist should treat subordinates as considerately as he would desire to be treated by his superiors. 4. Freedom in the honest collection and publication of news facts and the rights of fair comment and criticism, are principles, which every journalist should defend. 5. Unless the employer consents to a variation, a member who wishes to terminate his employment must give notice according to agreement. 6. No member should seek promotion or seek to obtain the position of another journalist by unfair methods. A member should not directly or indirectly, attempt to obtain for himself or any one else, any commission, regular or occasional held by a freelance member of the Union.
  • 17. PAKISTAN FEDERAL UNION OF JOURNALISTS (PFUJ) 7. It is unprofessional conduct to exploit the labor of another journalist by plagiarism, or by using his copy for linage purposes without permission. 8. Staff men who do linage work should be prepared to give up such work to conform with any pooling scheme approved by the FEC or any Union plan to provide a freelance member with a means of earning a living. 9. A member holding a staff appointment shall serve first the paper that employees him. In his own time a member is free to engage in other creative work, but he should not undertake any extra work in his rest time or holidays, if by so doing he is depriving an out of work member of a chance to obtain employment. Any misuse of rest days won by the Union on the sound argument that periods of recuperation are needed after strenuous hours of labor is damaging to trade unions aims for a shorter working week. 10. While a spirit of willingness to help other members should be encouraged at all times, members are under a special obligation of honor to help an unemployed member to obtain work. 11. A journalist should fully realize his personal responsibility for every thing he sends to his paper or agency. He should keep Union and professional secrets and respect all necessary confidences regarding sources and information and private documents. He should not falsity information or documents, or distort of misrepresent facts. 12. In obtaining news or pictures, reporters and Press photographers should do nothing that will cause pain or humiliation to innocent, bereaved, or otherwise distressed persons. News pictures end documents should be acquired by honest methods only. 13. Every journalist should keep in mind the danger in the laws of libel, contempt of court and copyright. In reports of law court preceding it is necessary to observe and practice the rule of fair play to parties.
