Journalist Sohrab Barkat given bail by IHC

Bail for journalist Sohrab Barkat has been restored by the Islamabad High Court in the last remaining cybercrime case filed against him by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA).  After hearing Barkat’s petition challenging the cancellation of his bail, the IHC restored the bail, directing authorities to release him immediately. The case against the journalist stems from allegations of spreading misinformation about state institutions during an interview.
