    Following several complaints, Pakistan’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has prohibited the country’s cinemas from showing the critically acclaimed movie Joyland.

    In her message on social media, Maria B demanded a ban on the release of the film Joyland in Pakistan, saying that Saim Sadiq’s film is not for transgender rights, but for promoting homosexuality in Islamic society.

    Earlier, Jamaat-e-Islami Senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan called for the film’s suspension after seeing the trailer and alleging in a tweet that it attempted to promote homosexuality and other vices. A strategy has been developed to undermine Pakistani ideals through movies.

    The story of the film revolves around a young man and a transgender who fall in love while working in a dance club. The film was awarded the Cannes: Queer Palm Award at the Cannes Film Festival, which is given exclusively to such films.
