The Islamabad High Court (IHC) is currently scrutinizing the amendments made to the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), which have sparked significant controversy and criticism, particularly from journalistic bodies. Justice Raja Inaam Ameen Minhas has raised critical questions regarding the mechanism for determining what constitutes 'fake news' under the amended law. According to Pakistan Today, Justice Minhas questioned, 'who would decide whether information is false and how such proceedings would even begin,' highlighting concerns about the potential for misuse of power. The petitions challenging these amendments have been filed by prominent journalists and organizations, including Hamid Mir and the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ), who argue that the amendments 'undermine freedom of expression and hand sweeping powers to the executive.'
