KABUL: Amnesty International has described the Pakistani government’s accusations of “cyber terrorism” against two human rights lawyers, Iman Mazari and Hadi Ali Chattah, as unfounded.
The organization asserted that the government is punishing individuals for expressing their opinions through the misuse of vague laws.
The organization stated that the Pakistani government should immediately retract the charges against the two lawyers, emphasizing that no one should be prosecuted or imprisoned merely for voicing their views.
Reports indicate that the arrests of Iman Mazari and Hadi Ali Chatta are a clear example of the restriction of freedom of expression. Both were detained after criticizing the government’s actions via social media.
Human rights organizations have expressed concern that the Pakistani government is increasing pressure on critics through ambiguous provisions of the “cyber crimes” law, which conflicts with international human rights standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
