The year 2024 draws to an end with media safety under attack in Pakistan and the space for free expression tightly controlled both offline and online. The year was a mix of political protests, internet shutdowns, and policies and legislation, both proposed and passed, that would increase policing of free expression particularly online.
Between January and December 2024, the Pakistan Press Foundation (PPF) has documented at least 162 confirmed attacks on journalists and media professionals in connection to the work and attempts of censorship to regulate and restrict free expression either through punitive measures or regulation. – Pakistan Press Foundation
