Media, rights groups condemn Putrajaya over raids against Al Jazeera, two others

Media groups and NGOs have condemned Putrajaya for raiding Al Jazeera and two local broadcasters over the airing of Al Jazeera's controversial documentary on Malaysia's treatment of undocumented migrants and warned of deteriorating media freedom in the country.

They urged the government to stop their attack against media organisations as journalism is not a crime.
