Abstract
This research aims to improve Pakistan's present derailing state of freedom of speech. The study employs qualitative surveys and interviews to understand the dominant dynamics of free speech from diverse stakeholders. The survey, conducted in two provinces of Pakistan—Punjab, and Sindh, people have been given the right of freedom of expression but with certain limitations, i.e., "the greatness of Islam, law, and order, and national security." Many individuals, especially minorities, journalists, and human rights campaigners, are subjected to these restrictions. Exploitation seems clear in many cases, such as missing people and targeted murders. A detailed analysis revealed a pressing need to clarify ambiguity in several Constitutional articles to minimize exploitation. Furthermore, a thorough definition of freedom of speech must be established and disseminated to the general public not to misinterpret or disrespect other people's beliefs, views, and ideas. Keywords: Fundamental Human Rights, Media, Law, Freedom of speech, Freedom of expression, Pakistan, Army, Judiciary, Blasphemy, Constitution
