[liberationtech] First Case of Selective / Targeted Online Censorship: Pakistani Government Successfully Blocks Specific Links

[Nighat Dad]

Dear Libtech,

In a new turn of events today users from across Pakistan faced issue
while accessing a particular movie title on imdb.com. While IMDb
remains open, the page for movie “The Line of Freedom” remains
inaccessible. “The Line of Freedom” is a short baloch film. It should
be noted here that time and again state has used all sorts of means to
curb the dissidents’ views and expressions especially from the
province of Baluchistan.

Please read and share our press release widely on this issue.
