Comments on: Bahrain: Scores of Websites Blocked http://advocacy.globalvoicesonline.org/2009/01/21/bahrain-scores-of-websites-blocked/ Defending Free Speech Online Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:02:16 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: kajol http://advocacy.globalvoicesonline.org/2009/01/21/bahrain-scores-of-websites-blocked/comment-page-1/#comment-32896 kajol Sun, 22 Jan 2012 05:45:41 +0000 http://advocacy.globalvoicesonline.org/?p=687#comment-32896 I am sure most of you know of the efforts of the Ministry of Culture and Information to ban websites. I think we are all together that this is unacceptable, unimplementable, and simply put: ILLEGAL as it goes against the Bahraini Law which protects the freedom of speech. A group of us tried to avoid this by introducing the Anti Hate Code of Ethics (http://www.bangladeshall.com/flaschat) and prefer that any offending website be prosecuted under the law with a chance of representation rather than resort to this old and ineffective method. My friends, Whether you signed the code or not, I implore you to write about the matter in your own blogs. We should also unify our forces to make our voice heard. We could hold up a rally or send one letter of objection bearing our signatures. I invite you to come up with more suggestions on what we can do about it. I am sure most of you know of the efforts of the Ministry of Culture and Information to ban websites.
