PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Wednesday asked the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) to frame rules barring TV channels from airing gruesome pictures and videos related to incidents of terrorism, reported a local English newspaper.
A two-member bench consisting of Justice Qaiser Rasheed and Justice Mussarat Halali also ordered the directors of public hospitals across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) to ensure that the treatment of injured people is not disturbed by the visits of VIPs, including politicians, after the incidents of terrorism.
The court ordered the TV channels to follow ethical principles by not telecasting grisly pictures and videos.
