I watch on ARY News and now FIA is working on Cyber Force they are saying they will take some tough and stick actions against bitcoin dealers I have personally watch one person arrested by them in our area and they are doing crackdowns against few Cyber Cafes as well as they believe they are affiliated with these activities.

I did watch that programme as well but it wasn't directly related to bitcoin; those people were actually stealing the money on the name of bitcoin (taking cash and providing them back a fixed amount of interest on a monthly basis).

Source for this news? There is no law against bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies in Pakistan so it's not illegal. State bank can't crackdown on websites because that is not within it's purview. That's the job of the PTA. Cyber crime force (whatever that is) also can't act in the absence of a law banning bitcoin.

That's all that we know in Pakistan regarding crypto.

But I also watch in front of my eyes FIA raid and arrest two persons both was partner and buying and selling bitcoin I know these both persons and they released after paying 1 Lakh rupees now they are not doing any activity like this as they have threat from them very stick or from State Bank and may be they involve in money laundry.

There's a good chance that money launderers would benefit from buying/selling business of bitcoin, mera khiyal hai aise business se filhal sab Pakistanis ko dur rehna chahiye. Agar kisi ko withdraw karwana ho to international payment channels use kare jese Western Union ya Bank Wire. There are a number of ways to do that, including withdrawals through Bittrex, Payza, Skrill, and more.

EDIT: Just found out that Payza no longer accepts Pakistanis. This is hilarious; where the hell are we heading to? Global isolation? I've been using Payza/AlertPay since 2010:

They even have an official customer office in Bangladesh. :|
