FIA can't but it does. To give assurances as tho FIA has a track record of following the law or that constitutional protections are available to citizens is false & misleading. Police cannot register FIRs under PECA, but recent FIRs contain PECA sections. https://twitter.com/ShireenMazari1/status/1309345527671263232?s=20

. @ShireenMazari1 FIA routinely violates the law. You were present when these violations were raised before the NA HR committee with respect to journalists but also women being coerced by them. What has happened? Was there any inquiry into the excesses? Accountability of the FIA?

. @ShireenMazari1 So below is information as Min MOHR you should look into and investigate. And seek record submitted to committees when individuals wrote describing their experiences, violations of law and the trauma they suffered as a result of the illegal actions of the FIA.

. @ShireenMazari1 May 2019, presented at a meeting you were present at: http://bolobhi.org/note-on-the-implementation-of-prevention-of-electronic-crimes-act-2016/

. @ShireenMazari1 This record corroborates. There must be many more. Your ministry can at the very least seek record and assess violations of process, explained further ahead. http://bolobhi.org/timeline-summons-enquiries-firs-detentions-and-arrests-in-connection-with-social-media-posts-2/

. @ShireenMazari1 Sept 2019, note presented to the Senate HR Committee. How women making disclosures about sexual harassment & violence were threatened by FIA illegally. Violations of process & law listed in detail. In one case FIR registered against girl. https://bolobhi.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Note-for-Senate-Functional-Committee-on-Human-Rights.pdf

. @ShireenMazari1 Using "cyber terrorism" and "hate speech" sections against citizens and journalists though the law does not allow it in that manner. Again PPC sections added to FIRs to circumvent court process to arrest people. https://bolobhi.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Misapplication-of-PECA-2016-Sections-10-and-11-November-6-2019.pdf

. @ShireenMazari1 How cases of average citizens are faring in court due to FIA prosecution. Case of sexual harassment. 2016-2020, trial not concluded because FIA officials do not show up in court to complete evidence. This is the recourse for citizens. https://bolobhi.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Summary-of-Report-updated-18.10.2019.pdf

. @ShireenMazari1 These are facts. You can conduct your own independent inquiry to ascertain further. But it is wrong to say it does not or will not happen. As Minister, what do you intend to do to rectify this situation? https://www.dawn.com/news/1507604/above-the-law
