When Fear Silences Justice

Sabrina Iqbal, a legal professional, frequently encounters cyber-harassment cases that often conclude in compromise, rather than full justice for the victims. She has observed a recurring pattern in cybercrime matters involving online blackmail, the unauthorized sharing of private photographs, cyberstalking, and the harassment of women.

The ongoing nature of these compromises suggests a broader societal or legal challenge in ensuring justice for victims of online abuse.
