Reporters without Borders to Host Cyber Protest against Internet Censorship March 12

Reporters without Borders will host a day long cyber protest against online censorship on March 12, 2008:

"To denounce government censorship of the Internet and to demand more online freedom, Reporters Without Borders is calling on Internet users to come and protest in online versions of the nine countries that are “Internet enemies” during the 24 hours from 11 a.m. on 12 March to 11 a.m. on 13 March (Paris time). Anyone with Internet access will be able to create an avatar, choose a message for their banner and take part in one of the nine cyber-demos (Burma, China, North Korea, Cyba, Egypt, Erithrea, Tunisia, Turkmenistan and Viêt-nam).

"Reporters Without Borders will release its latest list of “Internet enemies” together with a new version of its Handbook for Cyber-Dissidents."

Wednesday 12 March : launch of Online Free Expression Day plus repeat of last year’s "24-hour online demo"
