Tunisia – Website blocked before its official launch – IFEX
(ANHRI/IFEX) – Cairo, July 20, 2010 – The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI) said that on July 18th the Tunisian government blocked the website Fadaa Jadal Democraty (A space for democratic debate), http://www.jadal.eu , even though the site is still in the testing period and has not been officially launched. With this move, Tunisia has now regained the title of “most hostile Arab country towards the internet”, previously held by Saudi Arabia. In April, Saudi authorities blocked the site of The National Assembly for Change, http://eacusa.org , 15 hours after its launch.
