ISLAMABAD: Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADSJ) Muhammad Afzal Majuka Thursday suspended an order to close one more YouTube channel.

During the hearing of appeals, the court suspended the judicial magistrate’s decision to close Sajid Nadeem’s YouTube channel and issued a notice to the National Cybercrime Investigation Agency for July 21, seeking its response.

The court also suspended an order to close eight YouTube channels which were ordered to be blocked by District Magistrate Abbas Shah.
