The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) prohibited all satellite TV channels on Sunday from airing the leaked CCTV footage showing Noor Mukadam's unsuccessful attempt to escape Zahir Jaffer’s house, where she was eventually murdered. A notification issued by Pemra stated that “telecast of CCTV footage” of Noor and Zahir has been prohibited under Section 27 of the Pemra Ordinance, 2002. The authority directed all “TV channels to stop airing [the] CCTV footage” immediately and warned of “strict action… against violators”. On Thursday an Islamabad trial court ordered the investigation officer to unseal the CCTV footage and give copies to the lawyers representing Zahir Jaffer and his parents, Asmat and Zakir Jaffer. Its only been a day since the CCTV footage was given to the defense legal team.The Judge told them that it shouldn't be leaked at all.
