Abstract
If “Prevention of Electronic Crimes Bill, 2015” (PECB), becomes law it will give government and law enforcement agencies in Pakistan broad and sweeping powers to curtail free speech online, and violate the online privacy of citizens. To illustrate this point, CFX Comics, Media Matters for Pakistan and Bytes for All have collaborated to develop a comic strip illustrating just how repressive life could be like under the PECB.
