Netflix, the popular streaming service, stands accused of censorship after it removed an episode of the series “Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj” in Saudi Arabia due to a complaint from the government.

The country’s Communications and Information Technology Commission claimed the episode violated cyber laws and demanded it be taken down.

Netflix complied.

“Patriot Act” is an American variety show in which Minhaj deals with recent worldwide events.

In the pulled episode, he goes after the Saudi government for the death of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who died at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

The government officially denied the death before eventually claiming it was due to a fight that broke out.

The government claimed he had been strangled in the fight — but many theorized Khashoggi had been assassinated due to his public criticism of the Saudi government.

“They went through so many explanations. The only one they didn’t say was that Khashoggi died in a free solo rock climbing accident,” Minhaj said on his program.

Netflix told The Financial Times about pulling the episode: “We strongly support artistic freedom worldwide and only removed this episode in Saudi Arabia after we had received a valid legal request — and to comply with local law.”

The episode of “Patriot Act” can still be seen outside of Saudi Arabia and is available on YouTube within the country.

Many have accused Netflix of caving to government censorship in the wake of its decision.

“Even though @netflix caved to Saudi pressure and pulled @hasanminhaj’s @patriotact Saudi Arabia episode, anyone can still watch them on @YouTube,” tweeted Washington Post editor Karen Attiah.

She included links to Minhaj’s episode in her tweet.

Human Rights Watch also went after Netflix and said the company’s “claim to support artistic freedom means nothing” if it continues to follow the rules of non-democratic governments.

“Every artist whose work appears on Netflix should be outraged that the company has agreed to censor a comedy show because the thin-skinned royals in Saudi complained about it,” a spokesman for the group said in a public statement.

“Netflix’s claim to support artistic freedom means nothing if it bows to demands of government officials who believe in no freedom for their citizens — not artistic, not political, not comedic.”

“Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj” debuted on Netflix in October of last year.

Minhaj, 33, previously worked on “The Daily Show” and was the featured speaker at the 2017 White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

His stand-up comedy special “Homecoming King” is also available on Netflix.
