đź’¨ Abstract

Amnesty International criticizes the recently passed Prevention of Electronic Crimes (Amendment) Act 2025 in Pakistan, claiming it threatens freedom of expression due to vague provisions. The amendment aims to criminalize 'fake and false news', but the organization calls for its immediate repeal. The PECA Act 2025 introduces a criminal offence for spreading 'false and fake information', and expands the powers of the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority.
