Sky Atlantic has postponed airing Alex Gibney’s controversial documentary, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, due to British libel laws.
The UK pay-tv broadcaster planned to air Gibney’s film, which lifts the lid on the secretive religious organisation, later this month after HBO broadcast the show in the Us at the end of March.
However, Sky could be left open to legal action from the group and its members - including leader David Miscavige - as Northern Ireland does not recognise the Defamation Act 2013, which is designed to ensure a fair balance is struck between the right to freedom of expression and the protection of reputation.
Sky is unable to geo-block content its channels, meaning it cannot prevent its Northern Irish subscribers from viewing the documentary if it is aired.

The new documentary is part of Sky’s drive to invest in original British content by 50% over the next three years, with the broadcaster hoping to invest £600 million a year in British programmes across its portfolio of channels.

Programmes such as The Only Way Is Essex are watched by 'sophisticated' audiences, claim executives
Viewers have forgiven broadcasters for the string of deception scandals such as Queengate that so damaged their reputation just a few years ago, and happily accept a degree of fakery in shows such as The Only Way is Essex, a panel of senior documentary-makers claimed on Friday.
Speaking at Sheffield Doc/Fest, the creative director of BBC Entertainment North, Dominic Bird, said audiences are now so sophisticated and media literate that they do not feel swindled watching stage-managed segments in factual entertainment such as Sky 1's Pineapple Dance Studios or ITV2's The Only Way Is Essex.
