Two Iraqi TV shows, which sparked outrage by pranking celebrities with fake suicide vests and staged kidnappings, have been suspended.
The regulators said that the programmes, Tony's Bullet and Raslan's Shooting, breached the broadcast rules.
In one episode of Raslan's Shooting, an actress passed out in fear after having fake explosives strapped to her. Given the constant threat of militant violence in Iraq, viewers criticised the shows as cruel and tone-deaf.
Islamic State, which has lost its territory in Iraq, continues to attack civilians and the military.
