Since November 3, when Pervez Musharraf imposed martial law/emergency , GEO NEWS and ARY one world news have been blacked out in pakistan. Yet they remained on the international broadcast channels. So we were able to see the goings on in pakistan on our tv screens. Just 2 minutes ago, GEO TV and ARY have now been shut down and their is no international communication of news left.
In effect,
Musharaf's actions now go completely unchecked. He can arrest, toroture, do whatever he wants, and their will be no media to report the events.
This is the greatest emergency in pakistan's history. The international community and pakistanis cannot remain silent now. Please help spread the news. Pakistan's media is now Completely shut down 100 percent.

Update 2: Important aspect of this, those pakistanis who were getting news through GEO satellite/dish service will no longer get that news. therefore, there will be a discernible impact on the domestic population as well.
