Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Spokesperson said that PTI fully endorsed Amnesty International’s (AI) demand for immediate restoration of social media platform X (formerly Twitter), saying that Pakistan had been made a laughing stock in the international community due to the unjustified blockage on social media and the chain of oppression against own citizens.
PTI Spokesperson said that the fake government’s unjustified closure of the Internet, especially social media websites on daily basis in order to conceal facts regarding the mandate theft in the general elections provided opportunities to the world to ridicule Pakistan. He stated that the constitution of the country was virtually suspended during the past 23 months and basic constitutional rights were being openly trampled upon under the feet.
PTI Spokesperson said: “It is shameful that X has remained blocked in the country for over one month now. We fully endorse 28 civil society organisations’ demand for immediate removal of ban on the social media platform allowing free flow of information as should be the case in a democratic country.” He went on to say that the murder of freedom of expression and press had been the topmost priority of the usurped and anti-constitutional group.
PTI Spokesperson stated that all kinds of coercive and brutal tactics ranging from enforced disappearances to blackmailing their families had been used to target the impartial journalists and social media workers.—NNI
