Pakistan charges man with cyber terrorism over misinformation sparking UK riots

epa11559712 Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) personnel escort Farhan Asif (C), arrested on cyber terrorism charges, to a court in Lahore, Pakistan, 22 August 2024. A Lahore resident, Farhan Asif, has had his physical remand extended by four days by a district court for allegedly spreading disinformation that fueled recent anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant riots in the UK. Initially arrested by Lahore police, Asif was transferred to the Federal Investigation Agency cybercrime wing, investigating his role in uploading misleading content on Channel3Now. The case falls under the Prevention of Electronic Crime Act (Peca) 2016, with claims that the disinformation linked a British-born suspect to Muslim immigration. UK media sources have identified the controversial article as originating from the Pakistani platform, prompting further investigations. EPA/RAHAT DAR
