Anti HumanTrafficking Unit

Human Trafficking in person
Trafficking in persons is the acquisition of people by improper means such as force, fraud or
deception, with the aim of exploiting them. According to Trafficking in person Act,2018 Human
Trafficking in Persons is defined as, "Any person who recruits, harbors, transports, provide or obtain
another person, or attempts to do so, for compelled labor or commercial sex acts through the use of
force, fraud or coercion, commits an offence of trafficking in person ." Human trafficking provides
high monetary gains.It is the third largest source of organized crime revenue

Smuggling of migrants:
Smuggling of migrants involves the procurement for financial or other material benefit of illegal entry
of a person into a State of which that person is not a national or resident.According to the prevention
of smuggling of migrant Act,2018,Smuggling of migrant Act is defined as,"the facilitation, for
benefits,of illegal entry of another person who is a foreigner,into Pakistan or from Pakistan into a
country of which the person is not a national or a permanent resident,or is a citizen of Pakistan into
another country of which the person is not a national or a permanent resident."

Anti Human Smuggling (AHS) Directorate

Virtually every country in the world is affected by these crimes. The challenge for all countries, rich
and poor, is to target the criminals who exploit desperate people and to protect and assist victims of
trafficking and smuggled migrants, many of whom endure unimaginable hardships in their bid for a
better life.Being Human trafficking and Human smuggling is fastest growing international crime, so
there was a dire need of an Establishment/ Directorate in FIA which acts as liaison office between
the field offices of FIA in Pakistan and foreign link offices working on Human trafficking/Smuggling
and the FIA HQs Islamabad and MOI. Furthermore, this Directorate also interacts with national and
international organizations directly or through MOI and MOFA.For the said purpose,a separate Anti
Human Smuggling Directorate had been established inSeptember 2007, headed by Director BPS-
20.Anti-HumanSmuggling (AHS)is a directorate working under the Addl. D.G Immigration. The AHS
Wing, in coordination with all the Zones of FIA monitors the activities of Human Smugglers/ Agents
throughout Pakistan. Therefore, specialized teams have been formed in order to arrest the
absconders of human smugglers / traffickers in their concerned Zones / Anti Human Trafficking
Cells(AHTCs). The field units submit regular monthly and daily reports of the human smugglers to
AHS Directorate based on which an annual booklet of Most Wanted Human Traffickers/ smugglers is
compiled and the names of the smugglers are placed on Black List so that they are apprehended at
immigration entry and exit Points

Functions of AHS

Transnational Crime Web

Human Trafficking/Migrant smuggling is an international crime which is multi-dimensional in nature.
In order to eliminate or curb this international crime web, a consolidated and well-coordinated effort
is required. This perpetual crime web needs to be monitored and unearth through joint efforts
starting from the origin of the victim through its transit route to the end of his final journey. So, it will
be fruitless and a futile attempt if a coordination gap exists between the departments within a country
or internationally agencies. Therefore, following departments play their respective roles with well-
developed coordination and cooperation

Cyber Crime Cell

In Human Trafficking / Smuggling, Internet is used as mode of communication so Cyber Crime Cell
intercepts the communication of Human Traffickers / Smugglers and takes action against them.

Anti-Money Laundering Cell

In Human Trafficking payments are mostly made through illegal channels i.e. Hundi/Hawala . So,this
Circle monitors illegal money transfers and suspected accounts.

Forged Documentation
The Human traffickers / smugglers mostly use forged documents to travel abroad.So, concerned
departments are being involved and taken into loop to adopt measures to avoid forgery of
documents and solid evidence collection

Anti-Human Smugglers / Trafficking Circle (AHTC).

AHTCs offices are equipped with the sole responsibility to curb the menace of Human smuggling
and Human trafficking. AHTCs have been established being an operational unit on ground. They
collect intelligence, conduct raids, investigate the cases and get them prosecuted in their respective
courts. Each AHTC is headed by an officer of Deputy Director (BS-18).

Interpol
Interpol issues Red notices against proclaimed offenders of human trafficking and Smuggling.These
offices in coordination with other NCBs extradite and deport the accused wanted in human
Trafficking and Smuggling cases in Pakistan

parents.
VISION
A law enforcement agency that combats Cyber Crime, provides state of the art digital forensic
services, enjoys the respect in the society for its integrity, professional competence, impartial attitude
and serves as a role model for provincial police forces.

MISSION
To achieve excellence by promoting culture of merit, enforcing technology based law, extending
continuous professional training, ensuring effective internal accountability, encouraging use of
technology and possessing an efficient feedback mechanism.

SERVICES
COMPUTER FORENSICS
In today’s ever changing criminal world the use of computers for fraud and the pursuit of other
crimes has increased to dramatic proportions. NR3C-FIA is a specialized department to deal with the
computer crime. Computer crime is not only about fraud – online or otherwise – it also encompasses
areas such as pornography, child sex abuse and the sale of black market goods online. The wide
range of data content present in hard drives is potential evidence if seized from a crime scene. The
process of forensic acquisition, analysis and reporting of computer storage devices is Computer
Forensic. NR3C has state of the art computer forensic facility, and posses leading forensic experts
to deal with all computer related crimes.

MOBILE FORENSICS
The increased utility of mobile devices such as smart phones has leveraged the criminals to
communicate and use digital application, resultantly storing tremendous amount of data on the
device. Criminals use smart phones for a number of activities such as committing fraud over e-mail,
harassment through text messages, trafficking of child pornography, communications related to
narcotics, etc. The data stored on smart phones is extremely useful to forensic analysts through the
course of an investigation. The forensic acquisition, analysis and presentation of data content stored
on mobile devices is known as Mobile Forensics. NR3C since inception has dealt with numerous
mobile forensic cases, and also facilitates other government installations on such technical
assistance.

VIDEO FORENSICS
Video recordings can provide a real time, eyewitness account of a crime so investigators can watch
or hear what transpired. For instance, a surveillance video captures a bank robbery in progress, or a
hidden camera records. For most crimes, however, high quality video recordings are often not
available. This is where forensic video expertise can help. Forensic experts have many techniques
to enhance recordings that can bring out details and provide a clearer picture of what occurred.
NR3C experts have engaged in numerous video forensic investigations and have successfully
identified criminals and terrorist through this forensic method.

NETWORK FORENSICS
Network forensics is the capture, storage, and analysis of network events. Regardless of the name,
the idea is the same: record every packet of network traffic (all emails, all database queries, all Web
browsing–absolutely all traffic of all kinds traversing an organization’s network) to a single
searchable repository so the traffic can be examined in detail. It also includes the forensic
examination of network devices such as router, VOIP gateways, IDS/IDP etc. The network device
configuration and related data present in these devices is important in cyber crime cases. NR3C has
a specialized team to investigate and process network forensic cases. They have successfully
analyzed numerous network forensic investigations in past.

TECHNICAL TRAINING
Development of human resource leverages the organizations to perform efficiently. Trainings,
seminars and workshops are instant source of information that gives an edge to professionals to
understand and excel in their respective fields. NR3C over years has trained around thousands of
individuals of academia, law enforcement agencies, judiciary, police academy, intelligence agencies
etc. Trainings disseminated in relation to digital forensic comprehension of interpreting forensic
reports, evidence extraction methods, laws application to judicial community. 12, 458 individuals
from all walks of life ranging from a 6 grade kid to a decorated officers have been trained by NR3C
to serve the purpose cyber crime mitigation

CYBER CRIME
Any activity commissioned via computer, digital devices and networks used in the cyber realm, and
is facilitated through the internet medium. It can include the distant theft of information belonging to
an individual, government or corporate sector through criminal tress-passing into unauthorized
remote systems around the world. It includes from stealing millions of rupees from online bank to
harassing and stalking cyber users.

Cyber Crime also includes sending viruses on different systems, or posting defamation messages.
Commission of cyber crime can be:

 Cyber crime has now surpassed illegal drug trafficking as a criminal moneymaker
 Somebody’s identity is stolen every 3 seconds as a result of cyber crime
 Without a sophisticated security package, your unprotected PC can become infected within
four minutes of connecting to the Internet.

MAJOR ONLINE ACTIVITIES

In Pakistan, internet users range from 10% to 16% of the overall population

 Social networking
 Online banking
 Internet surfing
 Audio & video communication
 Entertainment
 Online shopping
 Map directions / GPS

CYBER CRIME CATEGORIES

HACKING
Trying to get into computer systems in order to steal, corrupt, or illegitimately view data. Hacking
comes from the term “hacker”, who is an expert in computer programming languages and systems.
Hacking, in this sense, means using unusually complex and clever methods to make computers do
things. For some time, however, the popular press has used the word “hacker” and “hacking” in a
negative way to refer to individuals who try to get into computer systems in order to steal, corrupt, or
illegitimately view data. Hackers themselves maintain that the proper term for such individuals is
“cracker”, and that their activities should be called cracking. However, in order to be consistent with
the most common usage of the word, we use “hacking” here to refer to unauthorized access

WEBSITE DEFACEMENT
Website defacement is an attack on a website that changes the visual appearance of the site or a
webpage. This is typically the work of system crackers, who break into a web server and replace the
hosted website with one of its own. The most common method of defacement is using SQL
Injections to log on to administrator accounts. Defacements usually consist of an entire page. This
page usually includes the defacer’s pseudonym or “Hacking Codename.” Sometimes, the Website
Defacer makes fun of the system administrator for failing to maintain server security. Most times, the
defacement is harmless, however, sometimes it can be used as a distraction to cover up more
sinister actions such as uploading malware or deleting essential files from the server. NR3C has
successfully investigated cases relating to website defacement.

CYBER BULLYING
Cyber stalking (also called cyber harassment) is when someone uses the Internet to threaten or
make unwanted advances towards someone else. This sort of harassment can cause physical,
emotional, and psychological damage to the victim. Children are particularly vulnerable because of
their trusting nature and give away their personal information. This information later is used against
them for stalking purpose, therefore the NR3C officials advice that until the person is not a trusted
individual, no information should shared over the internet.

CYBER STALKING
Using the Internet to threaten or make unwanted advances towards someone else Cyber stalking
(also called cyber harassment) is when someone uses the Internet to threaten or make unwanted
advances towards someone else. This sort of harassment can cause physical, emotional, and
psychological damage to the victim. Children are particularly vulnerable because of their trusting
nature

CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
The internet evolution has made children a viable victim to the cyber crime. As more homes have
access to internet, children use the internet and chances have increased where they can fall victim
to the aggression of pedophiles. The easy access to pornographic contents available over the
internet lowers the inhibition of the children. Pedophiles lure the children by distributing pornographic
material, and try to meet them for sexual activities which also include collection of their explicit
photographs and videos. Mostly pedophiles try to contact children in chat rooms posing as
teenagers, and start to befriend them to win their confidence.

Each year, countless children around the world fall prey to sexual predators. These young victims
are left with permanent psychological, physical, and emotional scars. When a recording of that
sexual abuse is made or released onto the Internet, it lives on forever. It haunts the children depicted
in it, who live daily with the knowledge that countless strangers use an image of their worst
experiences for their own gratification. NR3C, cyber crime unit has zero tolerance for pedophiles,
and is driven to make cyber space a safe place for our children.

SOCIAL ENGINEERING
Social engineering is a technique used by cyber criminals to get access to confidential information.
With social engineering, attackers use manipulation and deceit to trick victims into giving out
confidential information. Some of the social engineering methods used by attackers:

 Sending messages that contain dangerous attachments (e.g. malware) with text that
encourage people to open the attachments.
 Pretending to be the main administrator of a local network and asking for the victim’s
password in order to perform a maintenance check.
 Telling a victim over the phone that he/she has won a prize, in return they ask for a credit
card number to deliver it.
 Asking for a user’s password for a certain Internet service, such as a blog, and later use the
same password to access user’s computer. This technique works because users often use
the same passwords for many different portals.

DATA THEFT
Data theft is the act of stealing computer-based information from an unknowing victim with the intent
of compromising privacy or obtaining confidential information. Data theft is increasingly a problem for
individual computer users, as well as big corporate firms. The following categories are most common
in data theft cases.

 E-commerce: You should make sure that your data is safe from prying eyes when you sell or
buy things on the Web. Carelessness can lead to leaking your private account information.
 Password cracking: Intruders can access your machine and get valuable data if it is not
password-protected or its password can be easily decoded (weak password).
  Eavesdropping: Data sent on insecure lines can be wiretapped and recorded. If no
encryption mechanism is used, there is a good chance of losing your password and other
private information to the eavesdropper.
 Laptop theft: Increasingly incidents of laptop theft from corporate firms occur with the
valuable information stored in the laptop being sold to competitors. Carelessness and lack of
laptop data encryption can lead to major losses for the firm.

IDENTITY THEFT
Identity theft refers to a crime where an individual maliciously obtains and uses another individual’s
personal/sensitive information to commit frauds/scams by using the stolen identity. Mostly this crime
is committed for economic gain. The cyber criminal gains access to an individual’s information by
stealing e-mail details, stored information on computer databases, they eavesdrop over the networks
to get hold of transactions. Identity thefts include but not limited to shoulder surfing, dumpster diving,
spamming, spoofing, phishing, and skimming. NR3C has successfully investigated numerous cases
of identity theft.

FINANCIAL FRAUD
Financial fraud is a criminal behavior in which a person uses wrong methods to trick a victim out of
his money. The Internet fraud scheme is a common example of financial fraud, which includes
emulated online sales, retail schemes, business opportunity schemes, identity theft, market
manipulation schemes, and credit card schemes.

COMPUTER VIRUSES AND WORMS

A virus is a malicious program that passes from one computer to another in the same way as a
biological virus passes from one person to another. Most viruses are written with a malicious intent,
so that they may cause damage to programs and data in addition to spreading themselves. Viruses
infect existing programs to alter the behavior of programs, actively destroy data, and perform actions
to storage devices that render their stored data inaccessible.

A worm is a software program that uses computer networks and security holes to replicate itself from
one computer to another. It usually performs malicious actions, such as using the resources of
computers as well as shutting down the computers

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Intellectual property rights is concerned with any act that allows access to patent, trade secrets,
customer data, sales trends, and any confidential information.

DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK

A Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack is mounted with the objective of causing a negative impact on the
performance of a computer or network. It is also known as a network saturation attack or bandwidth
consumption attack. Attackers perform DoS attacks by sending a large number of protocol packets
to the network

Computer Forensics
In today’s ever changing criminal world the use of computers for fraud and the pursuit of other
crimes has increased to dramatic proportions. NR3C-FIA is a specialized department to deal with the
computer crime. Computer crime is not only about fraud – online or otherwise – it also encompasses
areas such as pornography, child sex abuse and the sale of black market goods online. The wide
range of data content present in hard drives is potential evidence if seized from a crime scene. The
process of forensic acquisition, analysis and reporting of computer storage devices is Computer
Forensic. NR3C has state of the art computer forensic facility, and posses leading forensic experts
to deal with all computer related crimes.

Mobile Forensics
The increased utility of mobile devices such as smart phones has leveraged the criminals to
communicate and use digital application, resultantly storing tremendous amount of data on the
device. Criminals use smart phones for a number of activities such as committing fraud over e-mail,
harassment through text messages, trafficking of child pornography, communications related to
narcotics, etc. The data stored on smart phones is extremely useful to forensic analysts through the
course of an investigation. The forensic acquisition, analysis and presentation of data content stored
on mobile devices is known as Mobile Forensics. NR3C since inception has dealt with numerous
mobile forensic cases, and also facilitates other government installations on such technical
assistance.

Video Forensics
Video recordings can provide a real time, eyewitness account of a crime so investigators can watch
or hear what transpired. For instance, a surveillance video captures a bank robbery in progress, or a
hidden camera records. For most crimes, however, high quality video recordings are often not
available. This is where forensic video expertise can help. Forensic experts have many techniques
to enhance recordings that can bring out details and provide a clearer picture of what occurred.
NR3C experts have engaged in numerous video forensic investigations and have successfully
identified criminals and terrorist through this forensic method.

Network Forensics
Network forensics is the capture, storage, and analysis of network events. Regardless of the name,
the idea is the same: record every packet of network traffic (all emails, all database queries, all Web
browsing–absolutely all traffic of all kinds traversing an organization’s network) to a single
searchable repository so the traffic can be examined in detail. It also includes the forensic
examination of network devices such as router, VOIP gateways, IDS/IDP etc. The network device
configuration and related data present in these devices is important in cyber crime cases. NR3C has
a specialized team to investigate and process network forensic cases. They have successfully
analyzed numerous network forensic investigations in past.

Technical Training
Development of human resource leverages the organizations to perform efficiently. Trainings,
seminars and workshops are instant source of information that gives an edge to professionals to
understand and excel in their respective fields. NR3C over years has trained around thousands of
individuals of academia, law enforcement agencies, judiciary, police academy, intelligence agencies
etc. Trainings disseminated in relation to digital forensic comprehension of interpreting forensic
reports, evidence extraction methods, laws application to judicial community. 12, 458 individuals
from all walks of life ranging from a 6 grade kid to a decorated officers have been trained by NR3C
to serve the purpose cyber crime mitigation

NAB
ABOUT US

The National Accountability Bureau is Pakistan's apex anti-corruption organization. It is charged with the
responsibility of elimination of corruption through a holistic approach of awareness, prevention and enforcement. It
operates under the National Accountability Ordinance-1999. With its headquarter at Islamabad, it has seven regional
offices at Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta, Rawalpindi, Multan and Sukkur. It takes cognizance of all offences
falling within the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO).

For the initial three years, the focus of its functions was directed only at detection, investigation and prosecution of
white-collar crime. Those prosecuted include politicians, public service officials and other citizens who were either
guilty of gross abuse of powers, or through corruption had deprived the national exchequer of millions or resorted to
other corrupt practices. In February 2002, NAB launched the National Anticorruption Strategy (NACS) project. The
NACS team conducted broad based surveys, studied external models of international anti-corruption agencies and
involved local stakeholder. All pillars of National Integrity System were studied in detail. After identifying the causes
of corruption in each pillar, a comprehensive strategy and a detail action plan was recommended. Breaking away
from traditional enforcement based routines NACS has recommended a comprehensive process. Relevant
amendments have been made in NAO and now NAB is empowered to undertake prevention and awareness in
addition to its enforcement functions.

 Performance and notable operations[edit]
Financial recoveries[edit]
Since its formation, the institution has recovered over ₨. 240 Bn (approximately $ 4 Bn) from
corruption committed by country's elite politicians, bureaucrats, former military officers, and those
involved in the white-collar crimes. According to Musharraf the "NAB was created to put the fear of
God in the corrupt, as Pakistan was on the brink of being declared a failed state before he came to
power."
In its research studies published by NAB in 2011, the institution has recovered ₨. 119.5Bn from
bank defaults and provided ₨. 60Bn to restructured the banks.[8] by september 2019 it has also
recovered Rs 71b under the chairmanship of javed iqbal.

Prosecution and investigations[edit]

In 2011, the NAB reported that it has 1791 cases that were under prosecution, out of which, 1093
cases prosecutions were completed.[9]

Infrastructure[edit]
In 2013, NAB inducted a large number of officers and conducted their Investigation Training at
COMSATS University in Islamabad. The officers, after successful completion of the Seven Months
off-job and 2 Months on-job training, were posted to different bureaus within the country. There are
various challenges currently faced by NAB, including a slow judicial process, difficulty in collecting
prosecutable evidence since the majority of country's public record is not electronically archived or
integrated into a central database.
NAB employees are consistently kept up to date with new training programs in financial crimes.

Criticism[edit]
The National Accountability Bureau has been criticized by the Supreme Court for mismanagement.
Justice Jawad S. Khawaja of the Supreme Court criticized the institution for its practice of 'plea
bargain' and described it as 'institutionalized corruption.' Under the said practice the Bureau arrests
suspects and negotiates for an out-of-court settlement under which the suspect is made to sign a
confession and deposit funds of an amount determined by NAB. Justice Khawaja stated during court
proceedings that he believed some NAB officials warn influential suspects before arrest to allow
them sufficient time to escape.[10][11]
