Pakistan blocks Al Jazeera website over PoJK coverage

Pakistan restricted access to Al Jazeera's website after the Qatari broadcaster covered violence during elections in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), with the information ministry accusing it of 'yellow journalism.' Users reported the site was blocked without any formal directive, highlighting a pattern of media censorship. The move follows a Pakistani general's remarks warning against ties with 'kafirs,' even though Al Jazeera is based in Muslim-majority Qatar.
