Hollywood movie Wonder Woman has been banned in Tunisia due to the leading actress' Israeli heritage. 

The film was pulled before the first screenings on June 8 after a lawsuit called Gail Gadot a 'champion Zionist.'

The Tunisian Association of Young Lawyers put forward the lawsuit.

Following the decision, screenings of the film were removed from cinema booking websites.
