Pakistani Government has issued a new cyber-crime law which lists sending indecent, provocative or ill-motivated messages on a cell phone as an offence.

Under the Cyber Crimes Act, sending an SMS message or email containing defamation of the country’s civilian leadership or of the security forces is punishable with 14 years in jail, according to a statement by the Interior Ministry, which did not specifically define the crime.

In addition to jail time, offenders could have their property confiscated, and any Pakistani national living abroad and violating provisions of the act may be charged and liable for extradition to Pakistan.
