According to the defamation notice, unless Jami circulates an unconditional public apology and issues a public statement retracting his rape claims from all social media posts and other media outlets within 14 days of the receipt of the notice, Hameed Haroon reserves the right to initiate civil and criminal legal proceedings against the filmmaker under Section 499 of the Pakistan Penal Code, 1860, and the Defamation Ordinance, 2002, and other applicable laws.

The notice claims that Jami’s allegations are part of a scheme to target freedom of press.
