Uzbekistan Blocks Russian Religious News Website
Forum 18 last week reported that in Uzbekistan, the National Security Service—the country’s secret police—have blocked access in the country to one of Russia’s leading religious websites. While Uzbekistan has blocked many foreign-based website that carry independent news of developments in Uzbekistan, its blocking of the Portal Credo site seems to be the first time it has banned a site devoted to religious news. The blocked website posts almost entirely Russian language items.
