Journalists Protest Peca Amendments in Peshawar, Demand Withdrawal

A protest was held in Peshawar by journalists against the recent amendments to the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA). The amendments have been criticized for restricting press freedom and giving the government more power to silence dissenting voices. According to the protesters, the government is using the amendments as a tool to suppress voices under the guise of 'fake news'. The journalists have vowed to continue protesting the amendments and will agitate until they are withdrawn. The protest is a manifestation of the growing concerns among the media fraternity about the impact of the amendments on press freedom in the country. The government's move has been widely condemned by the media and civil society, who see it as an attempt to muzzle the press and stifle free speech. The protesters are demanding that the government reconsider the amendments and ensure that the media is not restricted from performing its constitutional duty of holding those in power accountable. The situation is being closely watched by media rights groups and human rights organizations, who are concerned about the implications of the amendments on the country's democratic fabric.
