Is Pakistan’s Government Spying on You? What a New Amnesty Report Says

Is Pakistan's Government Spying on You? What a New Amnesty Report Says
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The new Amnesty International report has revealed something far more darker than simple spying. It exposes Pakistan’s surveillance state as one of the most comprehensive and technologically advanced outside of China.

The ability to monitor at least 4 million phones at a time and censor the internet with a single, Chinese-built firewall is a clear indicator that the Pakistani government (particularly its powerful military) is more interested in controlling its citizens than in protecting their rights.

The crackdown on the supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and the relentless suppression of activists in Balochistan prove this technology is a weapon wielded against anyone who dares to speak out.

Is Pakistan's Government Spying on You? What a New Amnesty Report Says

What makes this situation so alarming is that Pakistan didn’t build this alone. The parts are supplied by companies in Germany, France, the U.S., and China. The WMS 2.0 firewall, supplied by Chinese firm Geedge Networks, and the LIMS phone-tapping system, which uses German technology from Utimaco, are the gears in this machine of suppression.

These companies claim they are just selling to “law enforcement” and can’t control how their products are used but they are still profiting directly from the erosion of human rights.

Why It Matters

If they hope to fight this dangerous trend, the international community must move beyond empty condemnations and take concrete action. The governments in the West must immediately implement and enforce stricter export controls on surveillance and censorship technology.

They should also stop allowing their companies to sell dual-use technology to regimes with documented records of human rights abuses. These companies, including Niagara Networks and Thales, must be held legally and morally accountable for where their products end up.

Furthermore, the global human rights community needs to find a way to provide secure, uncensored digital tools to activists and journalists on the ground in Pakistan. This means supporting the development and widespread use of resilient VPNs and encrypted communication apps.

If all else fails, the international community must pressure the Pakistani government to dismantle its mass surveillance system and reform its laws to protect privacy and free speech, as guaranteed by its own constitution.
