Alleged Blasphemy Cases: Technical Reports, Digital Forensics, and the Search for Truth
In an age where our digital footprints can become evidence in a court of law, how should electronic devices and online communications be investigated? What distinguishes a preliminary technical report from a formal forensic examination? And what safeguards are necessary to ensure that digital evidence serves the cause of justice?
Recent alleged blasphemy cases have raised important questions about the collection, analysis and interpretation of electronic data, as well as the legal standards governing its admissibility and reliability. The session will explore the distinction between technical reports and forensic analyses, the procedures involved in digital investigations, and the challenges that arise when technology intersects with the criminal justice system.
