3:07Now PlayingUS Vice President JD Vance said the delay in releasing the details of its MoU with Iran was partly due to press freedom standards in Pakistan. While US President Donald Trump announced the interim peace deal on June 15, the official text of the MoU was released two days later. The US Vice President, speaking in the podcast 'Interesting Times with Ross Douthat', explained that Washington took time to release the details due to concerns over transparency.
Vance's remark has brought into the spotlight the steep decline in free speech and press freedom in Pakistan. Pakistan ranks 153 out of 180 countries in the World Press Freedom Index. In fact, over the decades, Pakistan has long been recognised as one of the most challenging countries for journalists. The recent 27th Constitutional Amendment, passed in November 2025, further impedes press freedom by stripping the Supreme Court of its authority to independently review fundamental rights.
