[bestbits] The Prevention of Electronic Crimes Bill 2015 - Documents

[Shahzad Ahmad]

Folks,

As you may be aware that Pakistan’s National Assembly passed The Prevention of Electronic Crimes Bill 2015 yesterday. It will become an Act if Senate passed it too and President signed upon it.

It says a lot of about transparency of the process that it took more than 24 hours for digital rights activists and media to get hold of the copy of this bill.

We received following documents in hard copy so had to scan them to put online for everyone’s review and access. These documents are accessible at https://content.bytesforall.pk/node/190.

1. The Prevention of Electronic Crimes Bill 2015 (as introduced in the National Assembly)
2.  Report of the Standing Committee on Information Technology and Telecommunication on the Bill
3. Clause wise List of Amendments
4. Note of Dissent by Ms. Shazia Atta Marri, Member National Assembly of Pakistan
5. Statement of Objects and Reasons by Ms. Anusha Rahman Khan, Minister of State for Information Technology

Forwarded for your information and review.

Best wishes and regards

Shahzad
