[governance] Pakistan: PTA blocks website against its own chief

[Shahzad Ahmad]

That may not work Sala for several reasons,

Constitutional provisions are marred with several vague definitions and
qualifications ;)

But yes we are consulting with our partners and will get back with updates.

Best wishes and regards
Shahzad

Dear Shahzad, 

If your Constitution has certain civil liberties enshrined in it. Why don't
you consider constitutional redress and you can suss out if people and
organisations are keen to support you in sending in amicus briefs with
appropriate case authorities for the matter once it is in motion.

Kind Regards,
Sala
