Pakistan bans sat-dishes
Pakistan has already banned certain news channels from its cable systems. Now dishes are banned too.
Pakistan’s government on November 13 banned the import with immediate effect of satellite dishes, receiving equipment, decoders and other similar satellite reception kit. Pakistan’s ministry of commerce issued an official notification, according to the BBC’s Monitoring Service.
More than 30 channels were banned on November 3 at the start of the current “emergency” in Pakistan. The only content now generally available comes from Pakistani TV channels that can transmit from within the country, and can thus be monitored closely.
The Pakistan Broadcasters Association has already submitted a “humble petition” to General Pervez Musharraf to lift the ban. There are also reports that police have visited hotels and private dwellings and confiscating dishes and reception equipment.
