KARACHI: Senior correspondent Azaz Syed, who works for News but also has his own private digital channel, stated, “I may not be able to continue hosting my show because the content I put up will most certainly land me in prison.”
He referred to the latest revision to the current cybercrime law, calling it a “wild” statute that was put in place to combat internet harms like bogus news.
Media professionals across the nation have protested the revised version of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes (Amendment) Act, 2025, which was enacted quickly, within a week, in both houses without debate, and signed into law by President Asif Ali Zardari on January 29.
