A number of Belarusian web sites experience problems

A number of opposition information web sites encountered problems on the day of “The European March”. Access to the sites has been limited. You will need to wait about 10 or 15 minutes for the web sites to load. Charter-97 reports that the authorities used such filters in 2001.

In order to block a site it is necessary to set up a filter on the server of “Beltelecam” (the Internet in Belarus is controlled by this state company) and the access to certain web sites will either be closed or limited.

Web sites of Charter-97, the United Civil Party, Malady Front and other parties have encountered such problems today.
