They left an indelible mark on the history of press in Pakistan. The struggle of some journalists against repressive rule has contributed in revamping the overall nature of movements for the freedom of expression, free media, and a free press in Pakistan. This book can be regarded as a vital historical account for future generations enabling them to learn from the heroic struggles of people of conscience who employed the power of their pens to combat the forces of oppression.0Translated by Imtiaz Piracha 600 00 Iḥfāẓurraḥmān 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Freedom of the press|zPakistan|xHistory|y20th century 650 0 Government and the press|zPakistan|xHistory|y20th century 650 7 Freedom of the press.|2fast 650 7 Government and the press.|2fast 651 4 Pakistan 653 Pressfrihet 653 Dawit Isaak-biblioteket 655 7 History.|2fast
