Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has blocked the website ‘www.trueislam.com’ for viewership in the country.
According to details, PTA had approached the administrator of the website for removal of unlawful online content from the website, being in violation of section 295-A, 298-B, and 298-C of Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) and per se abuse of Article 260 (3) and Article 31 of the Constitution of Pakistan.
In accordance with the provisions of Removal and Blocking of Unlawful Online Content (Procedure, Oversight, and Safeguard), Rules, 2020 (“Rules”), the administrator of the website was directed to remove the unlawful content.
The platform was also given an opportunity of hearing (virtual/physical) to explain its position before the Authority, which it did not avail.
