In a serious twist and upsetting development, the Yemeni government blocked this blog along with the five domains of yemenportal.net including (yemenportal.net, yemen.arabiaportal.net, yemenportal.org, yemenportal.info, and yemenportal1.info).
This is another blow to Yemen’s freedom of expression. Now even protesting a ban is seen as a ‘threat to national security’, which makes our effort to combat censorship even more important.

Thanks to all of you who have signed the petition. Please go ahead and spread the word. We need all the support we could get.

Sincerely,
