A Pakistani journalist faces terrorism charges in October 2025 over critical reporting, with rights groups calling the case politically motivated.
An anti-terrorism court in Islamabad is set to indict Pakistani journalist Matiullah Jan on October 31, 2025, on terrorism and narcotics charges under the 1997 Anti-Terrorism Act, according to Human Rights Watch, which calls the prosecution politically motivated and part of a broader pattern of targeting journalists.
Jan, known for reporting on police abuse, denies the allegations, claiming he was abducted in November 2024 by unidentified men in black uniforms after authorities filed a case against him, calling it retaliation for his critical reporting.
The case is part of a surge in prosecutions under repressive laws, including over 680 cases under Pakistan’s 2016 Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act in 2025. International and domestic press freedom groups have urged the government to drop the charges, citing violations of free expression rights under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
