Cairo seeks to blog websites
Bahrain society hires lawyers to fight case
The Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights has appointed three lawyers to represent the case filed by the Egyptian authorities seeking to block the society’s websites.
The president of the society, Mohammed Al Maskati, told the Tribune, “The Egyptian authorities have filed a case in a court in Egypt to bloc our and Takamol Arab Youth Association’s websites. They have alleged that the websites are harming Egypt’s reputation and promoting terrorism in that country.”
Maskati said they had carried statements by human rights activists in Egypt on their websites. “The Takamol Arab Youth Association had posted my statement after the government did not allow me to enter Egypt on the ground that I was on their blacklist. I was sent back to Bahrain. “The issue was posted on the Takamol websites which is why they are also under the scanner. We are taking legal action and have appointed three lawyers to fight our case.” Sandeep Singh Grewal
