Alexandria library blocks human rights web sites
14th August 2005
The Arabic network for Human Rights information described Alexandria library blocking human rights web sites as a wrong decision that contradicts its supposed enlightening role.
The executive director of HRINFO Gamal Eid was there during 7-9th August to deliver a lecture as part of the course organized by the Egyptian institute for training and human rights at the library.
He tried to browse some web sites such as he human rights watch's but he couldn't.
some trainees who are members at human rights NGOs in Alexandria and some members at the library friends association told him that the administration blocked some sites such as human rights watch, amnesty international and some e-mail famous web sites like yahoo and hotmail.
What is strange is that no one could give any kind of explanation for such a decision. Eid knew that there are many other web sites blocked and could not get any explanation from the library's administration.
HRINFO finds this decision, whatever the reasons, contradictory to the role of the library and its grate history.
It is also considered a negative monitor regarding the right o dismantle information of which the visitors and workers of the library were deprived.
HRINFO calls upon the administration to correct this mistake soon and asks the government, again, to stop blocking web sites immediately especially the opposition web sites such as Al-Amal party , Muslim brotherhood and the Shaab newspaper web sites.
