(RSF/IFEX) – Reporters Without Borders has welcomed the action of five ISPs including Paknet, a subsidiary of the Pakistan Telecommunication Company, on 2 May 2006, in ending the blocking of http://www.blogspot.com ( or http://www.blogger.com ). This blog service had been filtered as a result of a ban by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) in February on blogs that had posted the controversial Mohammed cartoons ( see: http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=16678 ).
In a more recent move, the PTA banned four Baluch nationalist websites on 25 April ( see http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=17508 ). Reporters Without Borders condemned all of these bans, which were imposed with obtaining a court order.
