𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝: Pakistan's Official Secrets Act & Amendments | Moiz Baig | TLDR | Dawn News English

On Wednesday, a bill aimed at amending the century-old Official Secrets Act encountered strong opposition from both sides of the aisle when it was brought up for passing in the upper house of Parliament. Due to the contentious nature of the proposed changes, the bill has been referred to the relevant standing committee of the Senate for further consideration.

Surprisingly, the outgoing government managed to quietly pass the Official Secrets (Amendment) Bill, 2023 in the National Assembly (NA) yesterday. The bill seeks to grant broad powers to intelligence agencies, allowing them to conduct raids and detain any citizen suspected of breaching the law, without specific limitations.

To provide a comprehensive understanding of the amendments being proposed in the Official Secrets Act, legal expert Mirza Moiz Baig offers his breakdown of the proposed changes.
