PLO Official Slams Palestinian 'Censorship' of Websites
[An Nahar] Senior PLO official Hanan Ashrawi on Saturday attacked Paleostinian Authority "censorship" after authorities in Ramallah shut down websites criticizing President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... "Paleostine should not promote censorship, whether on the Internet or in other forms of communication," Ashrawi, an MP and Paleostine Liberation Organization executive committee member said in a statement. "The blocking of Paleostinian news websites and other measures that prevent access to information and curb freedom of expression are in complete contradiction to the principles enshrined in the (Paleostinian) Basic Law," she said. Paleostinian telecommunications minister Mashour Abu Daqqa announced his resignation on Friday, after the public prosecutor ordered the closure of several political websites.
