| Activists: Facebook Blocks Nakba Group Page Again |
| 2013-05-18 |
| [Maan] A Facebook page promoting Nakba commemoration events in Jaffa was temporarily blocked overnight, Paleostinian activists said Monday. Fatima Huleiwi, an activist with Jaffa Youth, told Ma'an that it was not the first time that Facebook had blocked the group's user page. "When we published material urging people to support hunger striking prisoners, our pages were blocked. Last night the invitation to an event commemorating the Nakba anniversary in Jaffa was also blocked on several accounts for hours," she said. Sometimes right-wing Israelis report violations on the group's Facebook pages, Huleiwi says, and as a result Facebook temporarily blocks the site for several hours. Jaffa Youth has to send a complaint to Facebook before they eventually unblock the page, she added. |
