Pakistan bans TV host for 3 months over false report
[ARABNEWS] Pakistain’s supreme court has banned a TV host from appearing on-air for three months over his false report that the rape and murder of a maiden of tender years was linked to an international network for child pornography.Shahid Masood was also ordered on Tuesday to publish a written apology for his January report on the rape and murder of seven-year-old Zainab Ansari, a case that stirred national outrage. Masood had reported that her killer had 37 foreign bank accounts, a claim that was dismissed by Sherlocks. Pak authorities appear to have taken the rare step of ordering an anchorman off the air because of sensitivities surrounding the killing. Posted by: Fred 2018-03-21 |
