The ban was announced by Pakistani authorities in Islamabad. The decision follows media reports that highlighted the seriousness of the crackdown.
The ban is an official restriction on Al Jazeera's operations within Pakistan. The authorities cited the network's coverage of the PoK crackdown as the primary reason for the action.
