The National Assembly introduced a bill proposing amendments to the country’s cybercrime laws in Pakistan.
Key provisions include a proposed three-year prison term for spreading disinformation, dissolution of the FIA's Cybercrime Wing, establishment of a new investigation agency, and creation of a new regulatory authority.
The bill also introduces the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) and a Social Media Protection Tribunal.
Changes to the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) aim to streamline the legal process and encourage the use of modern devices as evidence.
