As you all know that the Pakistani govt. banned all blogs hosted on
blogspot through its internet gateway. An action group was formed by the
Pakistani bloggers to voice their concerns to the media regarding this
issue (http://groups.google.com/group/AGABBIP). As of 27th Feb, all web
logs having an address with .http://name.blogspot.com went offline in
Pakistan.An alternative to the current blogspot ban is to access you blogs
by http://www.pkblogs.com/
Dr. Awab Alvi (a blogger from Karachi) started a campaign "Dont Block the
Blog" which offers website banners to protest the ban.

Additionally, many bloggers have also gathered at various fronts to
protest the ban by sending group petitions to the government and raising
the issue with the media.
Sign the petition.

Deniel,
The Government of Pakistan banned few websites containing blasphemous material. I can't comprehend how they even thought about including blogs in that category.
Signed.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteAgree with the petition. Banning all sites is not the answer.
I'm wondering how Pres. Musharraf will spin this. He touted the "modernity" of Islamic law. Blogging is a way for the oppressed to share their viewpoint and blocking that expression foretells the government's true intentions.
ReplyDeleteJust tagged you, Ren.
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHAHA!!
Duly signed in my name and also in Hubby's.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe the hymen photos are due to the fact that they need to know what to look for before they decide if a public stoning is in order.
