On August 6, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) stopped the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) from harassing journalist and vlogger Asad Ali Toor during an inquiry against him. The court’s directive follows a legal challenge by Toor against a notice served by the NCCIA, which had summoned him regarding allegations of disseminating false information. Advocate Kundi informed the court that although Toor was prepared to cooperate with the agency, there was apprehension about potential detention. On July 30, Toor challenged the notice in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking to have the NCCIA notice declared null and void. The IHC on July 31 instructed the NCCIA to provide Toor with detailed allegations so he could respond adequately.
