Bangladesh Telecommunication Regularity Commission (BTRC) lifted ban on popular video sharing website YouTube.
BTRC chairman Sunil Kanti Bose confirmed the matter to banglanews on Wednesday afternoon.
The people of the country can access the YouTube from now on, said a competent source of the BTRC.
On September 18 in 2012, the government imposed ban on playing the internet video of a film titled ‘The Innocence of Muslims’, which denigrates Islam and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), on YouTube.
BTRC source said BTRC requested the YouTube authority to stop playing of the internet video.
But, they did not get any response from YouTube and imposed ban on playing the YouTube video in the country.
