Facebook Blocked in Pakistan
Muhammad Ahmed shared at 03:42:26 am on May 19, 2010 |
The Ministry of Communication has blocked all the links of Facebook, holding a competition of blasphemous caricatures of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
According to the report, Islamic Lawyers Movement filed the petition in Lahore High Court (LHC) through Chaudhry Zulfiqar advocate, who stated that under the law no practice against Islam could be allowed in the country.
He told the court that the website, having various features against the injunctions of Islam, is banned in various countries.
On Tuesday, LHC issued notice to the Ministry of Communication to submit its reply.
Ministry of Communication told that the link of blasphemous caricatures has been blocked, adding that the website can not be completely banned.
Facebook users in Pakistan, however, told AFP they could still access the site after the ban was imposed on Wednesday.
Officials with the Pakistani government told the court they had already blocked Facebook pages relating to the competition, but the lawyers group argued that no part of a site can be banned unless the entire site is blocked.
Pakistan has 45 million Facebook users, according to lawyers.
The Facebook page for “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” had just over 40,000 supporters while the opposing “Against Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” had more than 53,000.

U block one URL, they will make a new page and since each page has a unique address, the new page will be accessible again, and they can put everything on it within a few minutes, and then these lazy bluffers will take a lot of time to block that new page…!
Also it will not cost anything to facebook if u block a single page, if u block whole, they will have a great loss, and then their wisdom will come home!
Earlier a representative of PTA said that we have to bear the results in case of blocking the whole website…
what the hell??? is it a free country??? they are afraid of blocking a site!
They seem to be from the other side, not from our side…the one and only solution for this evil is to permanently block the entire facebook domain/subdomain,
the rest is bullshit…!
