Item Summary

"IRADA’s “Annual State of Digital Journalism in Pakistan 2023” report meticulously examines legislative developments in Pakistan during 2023 shedding light on key acts impacting freedom of expression and access to information, the digital media landscape. Acts such as the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) Amendment Act and Official Secrets Amendment Act, while introducing some positive provisions, raise concerns about potential infringements on freedom of expression. The report delves into the impact of judicial decisions on freedom of expression and the right to information, emphasizing a nuanced landscape where courts both protect and impose restrictions. Interviews with former Senator Mr. Farhatullah Babar and Mr. Saroop Ijaz from Human Rights Watch provide insights into legislative challenges and recommendations for a more balanced legal approach."
