Default Netflix pulls episode of Hasan Minhaj under Saudi Arabia Laws


Hasan used to work on the Daily Show.


[Netflix has removed an episode of a satirical comedy show, apparently in response to criticism from Saudi officials.
An episode of Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj included the American-born Muslim comic criticising Saudi Arabia after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October.
Mr Khashoggi was a fierce critic of the Saudi rulers.

The 33-year-old attacked Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, saying: "He has been getting away with autocratic s**t like this for years with almost no blowback from the international community.

"It blows my mind that it took the killing of a Washington Post journalist for everyone to go, 'Oh, I guess he's really not a reformer.'"]
