New photo Netflix pulls episode of Hasan Minhaj’s Patriot Act that criticises the Saudi government

Netflix has removed an episode of a satirical comedy show that criticizes Saudi Arabia after officials in the kingdom complained.

The streaming giant has taken down an episode of 'Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj' in Saudi Arabia because authorities have said it violates the Kingdom's cybercrime law.

In the episode, Minhaj - an American-born Muslim of Indian descent - lashed Saudi Arabia after the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Karen Attiah, Khashoggi's editor at the Washington Post, tweeted Tuesday that Netflix's action was 'quite outrageous'

He specifically criticized Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and was also critical of the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen.

It was taken down after the kingdom's Communications and Information Technology Commission said it violates a cybercrime law, as reported by The Financial Times.

Karen Attiah, Khashoggi's editor at the Washington Post, tweeted Tuesday that Netflix's action was 'quite outrageous.'

The US Senate in December approved two symbolic resolutions blaming the prince for the killing, after intelligence reports pointed in that direction, and urging an end to US participation in the Yemen conflict.

Requests for reaction to the Saudi information ministry and Netflix were not immediately returned.

Netflix had defended its decision, saying, 'We strongly support artistic freedom worldwide and only removed this episode in Saudi Arabia after we had received a valid legal request - and to comply with local law'

But the Financial Times said Netflix had defended its decision, saying, 'We strongly support artistic freedom worldwide and only removed this episode in Saudi Arabia after we had received a valid legal request - and to comply with local law.'

The episode can still be seen in other parts of the world - and in Saudi Arabia on YouTube.

Online platforms and tech companies have been facing increasing scrutiny and growing public skepticism amid controversies about data sharing and the steady erosion of privacy.

The NGO Reporters Without Borders in October ranked Saudi Arabia as 169th out of 180 countries for press freedom, adding that 'it will very probably fall even lower in the 2019 index because of the gravity of the violence and abuses of all kinds against journalists.'

The 33-year-old Minhaj has seen his profile rise steadily. His routines combine personal history and pointed political commentary wrapped in edgy topical humor.

In 2014 he became senior correspondent on Comedy Central's popular 'The Daily Show,' and in 2017 he was the featured speaker at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. 'Patriot Act' debuted in October 2018.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
