Pakistan criminalizes promotion of Zionism, with penalties of up to three years in prison.

Pakistan has passed a law criminalizing the promotion of Zionism and the public display of Zionist symbols. Those found guilty of promoting Zionism to incite hatred can face up to three years in prison, while displaying Zionist symbols with the intent to cause unrest could lead to a two-year sentence. Critics argue the law may curb freedom of speech in a country with no significant Zionist movement.
