This is a repository of RTI requests, responses, appeals and the information I've received through them.
Personal information is redacted, and text has been processed through OCR software where applicable.
If you've made an RTI request under Pakistani law, I urge you to submit it for publication here. Please email scanned copies of all letters exchanged, and any public information yielded, to rti@gilani.me. I'll redact any personal information before publishing.

- Request: All correspondence exchanged with the public information officer
- Appeal: All correspondence with the Information Commission if an appeal was filed
- Information: If information is received
