Don't drag family in

IN Media Watch Briefs | 20/02/2015
Here is an unusual request from a journalists' body. The Journalists’ Forum Assam (JFA) has "fervently" requested the media to avoid naming the parents of the arrested journalist Santanu Saikia when reporting on his case. The release says they were Assam’s best-known journalists and authors "contributing  immensely to our society," and not involved in any way in their son's  allegedly unlawful activities.
