Arrest Warrants Issued for YouTuber Imran Riaz Khan in Social Media Campaign Case
Islamabad: A district and sessions court has issued arrest warrants for prominent YouTuber and journalist **Imran Riaz Khan** in connection with an alleged social media campaign against Judge **Humayun Dildar**.
According to court officials, **Judicial Magistrate Abbas Shah** issued the warrants on the request of the **National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA)**. The agency had sought legal permission to proceed against Imran Riaz Khan and several others after completing its preliminary inquiry.
The case alleges that Imran Riaz Khan and his associates led an online campaign targeting Judge Humayun Dildar, who has been the subject of intense criticism on social media in recent months.
Legal experts say the case represents a significant development in defining the balance between **freedom of expression** and **the sanctity of the judiciary** in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, public reaction remains divided — some see the move as an assertion of the **rule of law**, while others consider it a **restriction on free speech** in the digital space.
