Najam Sethi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Najam Sethi, a Pakistani journalist, editor, and media personality, is the editor-in-chief of The Friday Times, a Lahore based political weekly, and the Daily Times newspaper.

Sethi and his publications have been in conflict with Pakistani governments on several occasions. In May 1999 he was imprisoned for four months without trial and released after an international outcry. Sethi was initially supportive of the military coup that brought General Pervez Musharraf to power later in 1999, but this support has waned recently.

His wife, Jugnu Mohsin, edits the fashion fortnightly Good Times and is the managing editor and publisher of The Friday Times. Sethi was educated at Clare College, Cambridge. He met Mohsin at Cambridge University where she attended New Hall. Together, Najam and Jugnu have a son, Ali, a graduate of Harvard College, and a daughter, Mira, who is a sophomore at Wellesley College.
