  • 1 His Excellency Mr. Imran Khan Prime Minister of Pakistan Prime
    His Excellency Mr. Imran Khan Prime Minister of Pakistan Prime Minister's Office, Islamabad, Islamabad Capital Territory 6 October 2020 Dear Prime Minister Khan, Subject: Pakistan Citizens Protection (Against Online Harm) Rules 2020 I hope this email finds you well. On behalf of the Asia Internet Coalition (AIC) and its members, I would like to follow up regarding the Citizens Protection (Against Online Harm) Rules 2020 or the Removal and Blocking of Unlawful Content (Procedure, Oversight and Safeguards) Rules, 2020 (“Rules”). The AIC is an industry association of leading Internet and technology companies and seeks to promote the understanding and resolution of Internet and ICT policy issues in the Asia Pacific region. Our members are Airbnb, Amazon, Apple, Cloudflare, Expedia Group, Facebook, Google, SAP, Grab, LinkedIn, LINE, Rakuten, Twitter and Yahoo (Verizon Media), and Booking.com. Firstly, we wish to thank you for your personal intervention in suspending the previous version of the Citizen Protection Against Online Harm Rules that had failed to uphold internationally recognized rights to individual expression and privacy as guaranteed by the Constitution of Pakistan. We also appreciate your role in directing your Government towards initiating a proper multi-stakeholder consultation on the revised set of rules. However, the AIC is deeply concerned by the lack of consultation and would like to bring to your attention that despite multiple requests, no draft of the revised Rules has been shared with industry stakeholders for input or feedback. As in any international best practice consultation process, it was a legitimate expectation of stakeholders that after initial input leading to a revised draft, policy makers would undertake an in depth consultation with industry.
