Cyber Crime bill, that has been approved by National Assembly’s standing committee on Information Technology, is now likely to be presented in National Assembly for approval to soon become a law of the land.
Once passed in National Assembly, the cyber crime bill will become a law and would be used against any Pakistani within Pakistani boundaries for prosecution.

- According to the bill, Police DOES NOT need a warrant or a plausible cause to arrest you.
- Political criticism and political expression in the form of analysis, commentary, blogs and cartoons, caricatures, memes, has been criminalised.
