Pakistan — 시위: 평화로운 시위

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. A peaceful protest occurred in Sialkot, Punjab on March 29, 2025, where journalists, human rights activists, and trade union leaders demonstrated against proposed amendments to Pakistan's Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act that would expand government control over social media content. The event is classified as low severity with no reported violence or disruptions.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. If confirmed and if the protest movement expands significantly, second-order effects could potentially emerge through broader civil unrest, but the current peaceful nature and limited scope suggest minimal immediate supply chain implications.

Watch points

• Monitor whether similar protests emerge in other Pakistani cities, particularly major commercial centers like Karachi or Lahore
• Track any escalation in protest tactics or government response measures that could affect business operations
