The important Islamic holy month of Ramadan starts on June 6th, and Pakistan’s TV regulator has just issued a new set of rules as to what broadcasters cannot screen during the month.
Pakistan’s Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) says broadcasters cannot screen police or crime mysteries and in particular any shows that feature murder, robbery or suicide and in particular programming that re-enact such events.
PEMRA’s chairman, Absar Alam, told press at an Islamabad press conference that channels which broke these rules would see their licenses suspended.
