It comes after Pakistan invoked a similar ban over “blasphemous content”.

A spokesman for the Bangladesh Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (BTRC) told AFP Facebook had

“hurt the religious sentiments of the country’s majority Muslim population” by carrying “offensive images” of Mohammed.

“Some links in the site also contained obnoxious images of our leaders including the father of the nation Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the leader of the opposition,” said the commission’s acting chair, Hasan Mahmud Delwar.

“Facebook will be re-opened once we erase the pages that contain the obnoxious images,” said Mr Delwar.
