Syria has stepped up its muzzling of the Internet,
blocking access to a string of websites critical of the regime,
including some run by leading dailies, a human rights group said on
Saturday.
Sites blocked by firewalls within Syria include the Saudi-owned
pan-Arab daily Asharq Al-Awsat (The Middle East) and the Beirut
newspaper Al-Mustaqbal (The Future) run by the family of slain
Lebanese ex-premier Rafiq Hariri, the National Organization for
Human Rights in Syria said.
