The Evening Standard reports TfL has suspended new ads from 11 nations, including the likes of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the UAE.


It comes after ads promoting Brunei and state-owned airline Royal Brunei were removed from the TfL network earlier this year.


The Sultan of Brunei introduced a strict Islamic penal code in 2014, the laws of which have been slowly introduced over several years.


These include making gay sex and adultery punishable by stoning to death.
