Pakistan Blacks Out TV Station Amid Protests

A Pakistani TV station that criticized the government in recent weeks has had its signal blocked in some areas of the country on government orders, a station official said. The country’s media clampdown has driven its information minister to resign in protest, another official noted. The station shutdown occurs as thousands of protesters and lawyers march to Islamabad to call for the reinstatement of ousted judges, CNN reports.
