LAHORE, Pakistan: A Pakistani court in the eastern city of Sargodha has sentenced a man to seven years in prison for working for a child pornography network, the first such conviction in this Islamic nation.
District police chief Suhail Chaudhry says the court's ruling against Sadat Amin was announced on Thursday.
He says Amin was arrested earlier this month by the Federal Investigation Agency — Pakistan's version of the FBI — following a complaint from the Norwegian government. The police chief says the investigation proved Amin produced and sold porn videos of children to a Norway-based network.
During the trial, prosecutors said Amin confessed to luring children to produce porn videos.
Pakistan recently introduced laws giving authorities power to crack down on the porn industry.

LONDON: Britain and allies France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands are convinced that late Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a lethal toxin in a penal colony two years ago, they said in a joint statement on Saturday.
That was the conclusion of the five governments based on analyzes of samples from Navalny, according to the statement issued in London.
It added that the analyzes had conclusively confirmed the presence of epibatidine, a toxin found in poison dart frogs in South America and not found naturally in Russia. The Russian government has denied any responsibility for Navalny’s death.
