The Egyptian court banned YouTube in the country

The Cairo Court ordered the Internet providers of Egypt to block access to the YouTube portal due to the trailer of the scandalous film "Innocent Muslims" posted there. Access is suspended for a month.

The court’s decision notes that YouTube still translates the picture offensive to Islam and the prophet, insulting the beliefs of millions of Egyptians and not paying attention to the wrath of all Muslims. ”As indicated in the National Communication Service and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies, the corresponding measures will be taken after receiving a copy of the verdict issued today.

Representatives of Google, who own the largest video hosting of the world, reported that they had not yet received any instructions from the Egyptian authorities.

The plaintiff in the case was lawyer Hamed Salem, who also sued a number of journalists and public figures, whose statements he regarded as anti -Islamic, the Russian Air Force Service reports.

In January, the Cairo court outlined a fundamental position on this film: the judges confirmed the death sentence of seven to the Egyptians who left the country who took part in the creation of the "innocence of Muslims."

Created in the United States and posted on the Internet in the summer of 2012, the film "Innocence of Muslims" led to mass unrest in the Muslim world, including the clashes of youth with the police in Egypt. As a result of the riots that continued for four days by the American embassy in Cairo, one person was killed, several hundred were injured.

Recall that the sensational video in December last year was included in the official list of materials recognized as extremist, which is posted on the website of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. The film appears in the list under the number 1589.
