Pakistani Activists Indicted for Criticizing Military

Pakistani Activists Indicted for Criticizing Military

In Pakistan, two human rights activists, Imaan Mazari and her husband Hadi Ali Chattha, were indicted for criticizing the military and intelligence agencies on social media.

They were charged under a law called PECA, which is used to control what people say online.

Many people in Pakistan are upset about this and are protesting to support the couple.

The activists have been denied their choice of lawyers and their trial has been delayed.

International groups and other activists have also spoken out against the unfair treatment of the couple.

The case is seen as part of a bigger problem where the government uses laws to silence people who speak out against injustice.
