Pakistan telecommunication authority says that YouTube will not be unblocked in Pakistan anytime soon. The officials claimed that they will never unblock YouTube unless Google doesn’t take off the anti-Islamic video.
The wretch episode begun to happen when film named “innocence of Muslims” was put on YouTube. The video said to have circulated heavenly after the Muslim protests were geared up against it. Every Muslim country stood up against it and storm the filmmakers. The filmmakers are the Americans who made a low class film based on their own assumptions and false speculations. The film mocked out Prophet (peace and blessings upon Him) and portrayed all the wrong things. This act hurt the Muslim sentiments who stood up against the film around the work.
In Pakistan “In Lahore, Hafiz Saeed, head of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa charity, conducted a rally with 500 followers against the making of the movie which portrayed our beloved Prophet (peace and blessings upon him)
Hafiz Saeed has 500$ million of bounty on him, he claimed in his rally “We condemn this conspiracy of producing (an) anti-Islam film. Such blasphemous acts are intentional conspiracies from the US and we will not tolerate it,” he told the rally.
Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) organised a rally in Karachi, where around 700 party activists and supporters gathered with banners and placards bearing anti-US and anti-Israel slogans.
“Hang the filmmaker…hang the apostate,” they chanted. “Jihad is the only treatment to cure American cancer,” another slogan said.
In Islamabad, capital, 400 protested conducted rally in front of a Mosque this Friday, they demanded Terry jones whose name has been linked with the filming of this non-sense
“Terry Jones should be handed to us for a trial in the sharia court,” a speaker at the rally told the gathering. Sharia courts try defendants according to Islamic law.”
Government of Pakistan requested Google to pull down the anti-Islam film if not internationally at least in Pakistan. But Google didn’t agree to bring it down which resulted as a blockage of YouTube in Pakistan. Even today after three long weeks the video is still being shown on YouTube.
“Responding to a question regarding whether MLAT (Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty) – an agreement between two countries for gathering, exchanging and enforcing public and criminal laws – was an obstacle in the issue because Pakistan had not signed MLAT with USA, the PTA officials explained that USA does not have MLAT with either Libya, Indonesia or Singapore too, but Google had blocked the video due to US government pressure or on-ground offices in those states.
PTA officials added that countries, where Google has its physical presence or has infrastructure (datacenters) in place, were in a better position to get the video blocked.
“Unlike Google, Facebook had removed the blasphemous content from its website for users in Pakistan and was hence unblocked after two weeks in 2010. Google, however, has decided otherwise and this is why it will remain blocked until it acts,” the official said.”
For some time the YouTube remains blocked in Pakistan due to the anti-Islam film.
