Almaty. October 8. Silkroadnews - Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) called on the Tajik authorities to provide unhindered access to the Internet, reports TajikTA.
"Re-blocking of sites in Tajikistan over the past few months is a worrying trend. These repressive methods harm Human Rights to receive and disseminate information, which blocks freedom of the media",- said the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Dunja Mijatovic.
As recalled by the agency, the government of Tajikistan on October 3, blocked access to many sites and social networks. Then Internet providers  reported to Tajik media on blocking access to about 300 websites and social media portals.
In northern Tajikistan were also imposed strict restrictions on the mobile Internet, and from October 7, mobile Internet was completely disconnected.
According to experts, blocking of social networking and a number of informative sites in Tajikistan associated with the application and appeals "G-24" to hold a rally against the regime in Dushanbe on October 10. However, a rally they consider is highly unlikely, and the threat of the opposition party - a provocation.
