[Pakistan] 시위: 평화로운 시위

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Journalists held a peaceful protest in Shikarpur city, Sindh province, Pakistan on March 29, 2025, opposing amendments to the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) that would expand government control over social media content. The demonstration was classified as low severity with no reported violence or disruptions.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. The protest appears localized to media sector concerns rather than broader economic disruption.

Watch points

• Monitor whether similar protests spread to other Pakistani cities, particularly major commercial centers like Karachi or Lahore
• Track any government response that could affect broader civil liberties or business operations in the region
