PARIS, June 7: Reporters Sans Frontieres (RSF) the international journalism rights organization has decided to protest the Pakistan government’s blocking of access to the South Asia Tribune, a US-based investigative news website that campaigns for independent journalism in Asia.
Says RSF’s Asia-Pacific spokesman Vincent Brossel, “Editors of the site, which appears to have been blocked because of its criticism of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, have posted a new address to get round the ban.”
He also noted that it had come after more than a year of harassment of the site’s founder, exiled journalist Shaheen Sehbai.
