Pakistan's Senate Standing Committee upon Human Rights respected a massive Monday to lift a ban upon video-sharing website Youtube, a media bank account said.
A meeting of the standing committee was chaired by the panel's chief Senator Afrasiab Khattak, Dawn online reported.
YouTube was first banned in Pakistan Feb 22, 2008, by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) because of the number of "non-Islamic violent behavior videos".
The ban was lifted Feb 26, 2008, after the website removed the repugnant content from its servers at the request of the running.
The video-sharing website was banned for the second time in a bid to contain "blasphemous" material, but was eventually the ban was lifted after removal of the contents May 27, 2010.
The PTA blocked YouTube for the third times after the website did not remove the trailer the film "Innocence of Muslims", which ostensibly insulted Islam.
The American-made movie triggered violent demonstrations across Pakistan, which left greater than 20 people dead.
YouTube is furthermore banned in subsidiary Islamic countries considering Turkey, Iran, Sudan and Tajikistan.
