LHC Orders Unrestricted Media Access for Imran Khan

The Lahore High Court (LHC) instructed Pemra to grant unrestricted media access to Imran Khan and all political candidates. This directive ensures a fair media representation before the February 8 general elections. Justice Shams Mehmood Mirza issued the order following a petition by Imran Khan, the former prime minister currently in Adiala Jail. Imran’s legal team challenged Pemra’s earlier decision to block his media presence.

Background and Court’s Observations

Pemra had banned Imran Khan’s media coverage, citing his critical remarks against former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa. The LHC previously suspended this ban, yet the matter remains under further judicial review.

The court’s recent written order underscores the importance of balanced media coverage, especially with elections approaching. The LHC emphasized the public’s right to informed decision-making in the electoral process and the necessity of a level playing field in media access for all political parties and candidates.

Pemra’s 2022 directive restricted content against state institutions. The authorities accused Imran Khan of spreading hate speech and disrupting public order. As argued by Imran’s petition, Pemra’s actions were deemed to exceed its jurisdiction and violate constitutional rights. The court’s decision reaffirms the need for free and fair media access in democratic processes.
