Let’s not just talk but bring the change ourselves. Pakistan has scored 30 points out of 100 on the Freedom of Expression Assessment Index by Media Matters for Democracy.
“We have been ranked in better titles before, but this is also very important,” said actor Sarwat Gilani while responding to the news. “How will we express when we don’t know how to do it?”
The report stated that there has been a decline in freedom of expression during the pandemic, with media persons facing threats due to absence of laws for their protection.
“As a society, we are not honest to ourselves, but quick to judge others,” Sarwat said. “We don’t know how to communicate with our children, spouses, parents, and among ourselves on social media.”

Pakistan scored 30 points out of a 100 as threats to freedom of expression in Pakistan increased during the pandemic.
The threats to freedom of expression in Pakistan increased during the pandemic. In its assessment titled Pakistan Freedom of Expression Report 2020 , Media Matters for Democracy (MMfD) said Pakistan performed miserably in all areas used to assess the overall situation of free speech.
The country scored 30 points out of 100 on the assessment Index, which indicates that the state of freedom of expression remained poor over the past twelve months. The report had also highlighted how individuals of the media were prime targets, often facing threats due to the lack of laws ensuring their protection.
