Journalists from various media houses took to the streets on Wednesday to protest against increasing attacks on press freedom by the government.

The countrywide demonstrations, which saw media professionals march in the streets of major towns and cities, came in the wake of growing concerns over seeming efforts by the government to stifle the independence of the media.
