Saudi Arabia Blocks Amnesty International Website
According to the Amnesty International website, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia passed a law that would allow authorities to prosecute non-violent dissent as acts of terrorism.
Saudi authorities ban the Amnesty International site
Saudi news agencies and Amnesty themselves reported that the site was unavailable on Saudi networks on Monday. However, some of Amnesty's affiliate sites are still up and Amnesty has posted the full Saudi law on its Protect the Human blog. Malcolm Smart, Amnesty’s Director for Middle East operations, said in a statement, "Instead of attacking those raising concerns and attempting to block debate, the Saudi Arabian government should amend the draft law to ensure that it does not muzzle dissent and deny basic rights".
Paddy does not, we repeat, definitely does NOT belong in the category of Mac-head (yeh right!). She does get excited by her iPhone and her iMac and her iPod Nano and her Macbook and Bali's iPad and her future iHouse (patent pending). Ok, so maybe her head is a little bit forbidden fruit shaped. She likes shooting video (iPhone 4 camera zindabad!) and editing montages (Final Cut Pro zindabad!), whether the scene calls for it or no. In her spare time, she's either kicking it on stage with KB the keyboard or kicking butt at Taekwondo.
