Lawfare, General Lawfare – Journalists

Kashmiri journalist and author Gowhar Geelani on Saturday claimed he was not allowed to travel to Germany to attend a conference organised by Deutsche Welle, the German public broadcaster. Earlier this month, Kashmiri IAS officer-turned-politician Shah Faesal was stopped at New Delhi’s IGI Airport while he was on way to Boston, USA.

Geelani, who has worked with Deutsche Welle in Germany earlier, said that he joined the media organisation as an editor again recently and was on way to its headquarters for an eight-day journalist training programme beginning September 1 when he was stopped at IGI Airport.
