NCCIA and the Crackdown: A Comprehensive Analysis of Pakistan's Anti-State Social Media Case

Summary: The article reports that the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) arrested 13 individuals across Punjab in a major crackdown on anti-state social media activities. These perpetrators allegedly ran coordinated campaigns against Pakistan's state institutions, the Armed Forces, government, and even friendly Gulf countries. Arrests were carried out in Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, and Multan. Cases were registered under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016, with solid digital evidence recovered. The NCCIA says it is “cleaning house” and sending a message that no one will be allowed to spread chaos, propaganda, or hatred against the state on social media.
