The regulator‘s special page to report online blasphemous content is state’s owning of blasphemy laws and contrary to the claims made in meetings.where the claim that the law is never enforced. We don’t punish people to death.
We have seen @pid_gov being complainant in many cases . Case #MolviWaheed And #ProfessorAnwar also has state proxy as complainant.
#JunaidHafeez remains in prison despite zero evidence and in solitary.

Today a court in Rawalpindi sentenced an individual #ZahidMumtaz to 4 years in prison and 2.5 lac PKR fine. His crime is criticism on Amry on social media.
Another youngman #HarishAbbasi is in jail after his video went viral chanting slogans against General Bajwa۔
There are dozens of documented cases where police becomes complainant against an individual citing a routine check of phone or seeing post on social media.
Hundreds of @PashtunTM_Offi workers are in jails and hundreds in hiding due to cyber crime laws.
People like us who don’t live in Pakistan get twitter-legal notices. Twitter in the name of transparency delivers their legal notices.
Fake cases are filed against us . Like it happened few days ago against father of @meschsd (my wife)

History

Activist and writer @GulBukhari had to leave the country after she was anducted by ISI. She is a British national and hails from a military family. Her father was General and died on duty.
So, it is not just underpriviledged who are targeted.

@Gulalai_Ismail is an awar winning and celebrated activist. She was arrested, prosecuted, persecuted and hunted to a point that she has had to leave Pakisgan forever. Gulalai lives in US now. Her father has been imprisoned under cyber crime laws.
Jouranlist @TahaSSiddiqui escaped the abduction by ISI. He had to leave country and now lives in exile in France.
Journalist @ZafarSaape was anducted by Rangers in Karachi and was interrogated by ISI. He lives in Netherlands now.
@facebook is B-team of GOP. The people of Pakistan origin like Sarim Aziz head the Pakistan section. Their clear bias and crackdown on dissent is well documented.
The journalists are regularly forced to delete tweets. Journalists lost jobs due to putting up DP of #Khashoggi .
Journalists have been forced to close twitter accounts.

Few days ago a renknowned Digital rights campaigner’s 18 years old son was abducted by Army , handed over to police and booked under terrorism laws . All done to teach the activist a lesson.
The twitter General @OfficialDGISPR openly bullies journalists and activists from his personal account @peaceforchange.
There are troll armies which run blasphemy campaigns, run abusive hashtags , threaten families and even leak very confidential and personal information.
The Twitter General calls it #5thGenerationWarfare . A cyber war against Pakistani citizens waged by Pakistan Army , its troll armies and its allies . Allies range from Rabid Mullahs to @PTIofficial
The same Army ran blasphemy campaign against us in Jan 2017 . The tweets and hashtags are still present on twitter. They used electronic media to make it so far reaching that our lives are endangered even in Europe.
One such hashtag was #WhoAreTheyDefending
The crackdown on freedom of speech, use of blasphemy laws and cyber crime laws by state is so huge our accounts are monitored 7X24. We get twitter-legal email for almost every tweet which incsults, mocks or questions the rogue Army.
The GSP Plus status is tied to human rights but they always successfully get away with it .
Hope EU will invite and contact journalists and activists in exile and the cases victims of Pakistan/Army should be part of discussion/dialogue with Pakistan.
