<p>Episode two of US comedian’s Hasan Minhaj’s Patriot Act was pulled after it criticised Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman over the alleged murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.</p>
<p>Mr Khashoggi, a vocal critic of the kingdom’s royal family, was killed at the the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October.</p>
<p>Netflix confirmed to the Financial Times it had pulled the episode after receiving a complaint from the kingdom’s Communications and Information Technology Commission that it violated Saudi anti-cybercrime law.</p>
<p>The streaming giant said: “We strongly support artistic freedom and removed this episode only in Saudi Arabia after we had received a valid legal request — and to comply with local law.”</p>
<p>The episode in question is reportedly still available in Saudi Arabia on YouTube.</p>
<p>In it, Minhaj criticises Saudi Arabia for Mr Khashoggi’s death and the country’s involvement in the ongoing war in Yemen.</p>
<p>Saudi Arabia has charged 11 people with the death of Mr Khashoggi, though strongly denies that the crown prince ordered the killing.</p>
<p>In December, the US Senate passed a resolution saying the crown prince is responsible for the death.</p>
