Netflix criticized for yanking Patriot Act episode in Saudi

None

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Netflix faced criticism on Wednesday for pulling an episode in Saudi Arabia of comedian Hasan Minhaj's "Patriot Act" that criticized the kingdom's powerful crown prince.

 

The American comedian used his second episode, released on Oct. 28, to lambaste Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the killing of writer Jamal Khashoggi and the Saudi-led coalition at war in Yemen.

 

Minhaj said the crown prince was being hailed as the reformer the Arab world needed until Khashoggi's killing.
