In a significant move to safeguard national security and curb the spread of malicious content, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has initiated a crackdown on individuals sitting abroad who are involved in maligning national security institutions through social media platforms.
The FIA has taken swift action by identifying 361 social media accounts associated with such activities and has decided to arrest the miscreants behind them.
To ensure that these individuals are brought to justice, the FIA has reached out to the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) to assist in arresting and extraditing the critics residing in foreign jurisdictions.
By coordinating efforts with Interpol, the FIA aims to track the accounts of the accused and register cases against them under the Cybercrime Act.
Speaking on the matter, an official from the FIA emphasised that the cases would be registered promptly, and necessary legal actions would be taken against the accused individuals. Once the cases are registered, the FIA, with the assistance of Interpol, will work towards bringing the accused individuals back to Pakistan to face the charges filed against them.
