Pakistan Suspends Geo News Broadcast for 15 Days Over Religious Content
Pakistan's media regulator, PEMRA, suspended Geo News' broadcast licence for 15 days following a programme aired during Muharram that included visuals deemed offensive to religious sentiments. The suspension followed a complaint by a religious group leader and concerns over content that could disturb public order. Geo News apologized, removed the footage, and was directed to conduct an internal inquiry. The case is under further investigation by the regulator's council amid ongoing debates on press freedom in Pakistan.
