My experience of engaging with @criminalreforms - a thread

A couple of hours in I realized that I was completely unprepared to fill in any of the answers, as each question would require weeks of research for me to decide what position to take. Bear in mind, just the first questionairre had about 45 questions 2/n
For eg, the first form had Qs on the system of punishments, the death penalty, strict liability offences, age of criminal responsibility, law on sedition, criminalization of honour killing, mob lynching, legalization of euthanasia, re-classification/redefining sexual offences 3/n

The Committee's mandate is so broad that it could affect everything from prosecution of individuals for social media posts to search and seizure of personal electronic devices. Here are the issues we identified which could impact digital rights particularly. 2/n
In the latest post, we focus on our submissions regarding law enforcement access to personal electronic devices and use of Section 144 to impose internet shutdowns and app bans, which are two core issues that IFF has been working on for a long time. 3/n
