ARY news suspended in Pakistan
Pakistan on Monday suspended a television channel supportive of anti-government protests being held by cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan and a populist cleric in the capital Islamabad.
ARY News, a popular station, is being taken off air for 15 days for "maligning honourable courts and judiciary," the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) said in a statement yesterday.
ARY News was also fined 10 million rupees ($97,089), the media authority added in the statement, saying that the channel has a history of not complying with PEMRA laws.
