الهند: حجب موقع "تو سيركلز" المعني بشؤون المسلمين

- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أعلنت شبكة "تو سيركلز" الهندية - التي تُعد من أكبر الشبكات المعنية بشؤون المسلمين في "الهند" - أنها تعرضت للحجب من شبكة الإنترنت بـ"الهند" من قِبل الحكومة الهندية بعد زعمها مسؤولية الشبكة والشبكات الإسلامية الأخرى عن نشر ما أسمته "شائعات" عن المآسي التي يتعرض لها المسلمون بـ"الهند" بولاية "أسام"، وفي دولة "ميانمار".

وقد أعرب الكثير من الأوساط الإسلامية والمدنية والصحفية عن استنكارهم لما اعتبروه تقييدًا لحرية التعبير، وانتهاكًا للحريات المدنية المشروعة، إضافة إلى تأكيد آخرين على مصداقية الشبكة، وأنه يجب السماح لها بممارسة نشاطها بحرفية كاملة. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

TCN pages blocked in India

On August 19th, 2012 Government of India issued circular to the Internet Service Providers to block a number of internet sites, facebook pages, and twitter handles apparently for spreading rumors regarding violence in Assam & Myanmar. The list included two pages from TwoCircles.net website as well. Pages that have nothing to do with Assam or Myanmar.

Comments from eminent people supporting TCN:

It is an infringement on the freedom of expression and people's right to information. From the information available, the blocking of TwoCircles.net is not related to Assam issue. It looks like the excuse of Assam issue has been used to remove uncomfortable truth from the public domain. This a despicable act from the government, and it doesn't augur well for Indian democracy.

TwoCircles.net is a very balanced site. - totally oppose this move of govt.

Ram Puniyani, writer and a champion of communal harmony.

The govt is taking advantage of the violence caused by the widespread propagation of morphed images of assam & myanmar on the internet to block a series which lists the way Muslims have been falsely accused in MP. Most of the cases highlighted are of SIMI members or those alleged to be SIMI members. I have no fondness for SIMI, but TWOCIrcles has every right to expose the way the police foists false cases on SIMI members, or those it suspects have sympathies with the organisation.

Nothing should be banned unless and until it is really harmful to human beings.

It seems people not involved in Azad Maidan incident are being arrested similarly the sites not involved in the incidents are being blocked. What a poetic justice. In fact they want to threaten Muslims and suppress their voice totally. --- Moonisa Bushra Abedi
