The FIR further says the woman officer in question incited the general public against the Pakistan Army and the state. The alleged posts made by Hina are “a mischievous act of subversion to create rift between institutions of the state and general public to harm the state of Pakistan and the reputation of the Pakistan Army.” It says Hina induced the general public to commit offences against the state on the ground of spreading anarchy, division in the social fabric, and hatred between the people of Pakistan.
The Sharif government recently arrested several social media vloggers, journalists, civil society members and Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf activists under PECA for critical posts against the Pakistan Army and the government.
The journalist bodies, civil society and opposition parties have termed the PECA a “draconian law” and demanded its repeal forthwith. PTI MZ ZH ZH ZH
