Some good steps are being taken but they need to be consistent. This 'crackdown' needs to be enforced uniformly and made a law that is to be enforced indefinitely.

Also, what qualifies as hate material needs to be clearly defined. There need to be degrees of offense, ranging from hate material, instigating material and terrorist material, with clear and well-defined penalties for each of these.

What about hate speech against Ahmadis? Is it likely to stop any-time soon?

Hate speech against Ahmadis is still kosher. Look at Amir Liaquat for example, all this talk of clamping down on hate speech while NS darling the Geo channel continues to bark against Pakistanis giving fatwas of death. Nothing will happen, this is for just show.

You can find most of eyewitnesses in the local cemetery.

Maybe Mullahs have invented a machine which measures your faith?

The journalists saw it themselves, why do you want them to go around pestering eyewitnesses?

The Geo channel apologized for it - well, not enough, but at least it shows that there was a considerable outcry against it, forcing them to apologize

Don't the opinions of the public count? You're denying your fellow citizens the opportunity to both criticize and support the actions of the police and FC.

How does eyewitness accounts have anything to do with public opinions? You didn't ask for public opinions, you asked for 'eyewitness accounts'.

Don't move the goalposts like that - I'm not denying anyone anything. They can go and criticize or support whoever they want to, however they want to. The action was taken BECAUSE of public opinion in the first place.
