(Other organizations given permission to distribute this alert under their names)

Background:

CNN broadcasted a program on World Report about Pakistan, Kashmir and India at 930 PM on December 7th, 2003. This program was a program given to CNN by Pakistan TV and contained the perspective of the people of Pakistan. There were significant concerns reported about the human rights abuses and interviews of the people of Kashmir who are suffering on a daily basis.

This programming has resulted in hundreds of phone calls and emails to CNN from individuals and groups not so concerned about the human right abuses in the region.

These phone calls are portraying that no one is concerned about the human rights abuses in Kashmir and the perspective shown was incorrect.

Action Request:

PAKPAC gives permission to all organization to use this alert under their name as well.
Please respond to this campaign and ask CNN to continue showing programs on the true situation in Kashmir as was shown on the night of December 7th, 2003.
