ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has identified 27 people involved in, what it said, ‘anti-army propaganda’.
It will submit its report on the misuse of social media to “malign” the country’s armed forces in the next two weeks to the Interior Ministry.
According to sources in the FIA, the agency has identified 27 people involved in ‘anti-army propaganda’. Seven of them were summoned for questioning, after which their electronic equipment was seized and sent for forensic analysis. On May 21, the FIA had arrested and later released six suspects for allegedly defaming the armed forces and state institutions. However, the agency has not formally charged them or made any arrests under charges of maligning the armed forces.
