In term of legislative, legal and judicial development on freedom of expressions, right to information and digital rights in Pakistan, 2017 remained a year characterized by some good developments and key expectations that did not materialize. Irrespective of the short comings of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), the federal government fell short of it's commitment to mechanize it's implementation by failing to either establish any independent forensic laboratory or the committed 10 "cyber crime police stations" to provide the relevant authorities expert opinion before the court or investigation and prosecution of the offences under this act. Result if this is that throughout the whole year, the quantum of pending complaints continued to increase without them being resolved. The authority designated to lead implementation of this Act, the Federal Investigation Agency, continued to struggle in dealing with the rises number of cases due to its limited resources. As required by this Act, the FIA fail in producing the two biannual progress report on the implementation of the Act in 2017.
