Roskomnadzor blocked the Fergana news agency for the second time

Roskomnadzor for the second time blocked access to the website of the Fergana news agency. This is reported by MBH Media with reference to the editor-in-chief of the agency Maria Dubnova.

The reason for blocking was the decision of Roskomnadzor on October 7. In the opinion of employees of the department, Ferghana disseminated information about the method of suicide in a February publication.

“On the evening of October 8 or 9 in the morning, the site was blocked again without warning. Through Roskomsvoboda, we found out what kind of February material it was about a migrant who fell on the rails in the subway. It cited eyewitnesses from sources in other media that he jumped himself. And that's a way to commit suicide. Imagine, the February material was found! I don't understand who doesn't like us. We don’t write about Russia, ”MBKh Media quotes Dubnova as saying.

• On September 30, Roskomnadzor already blocked access to the Fergana website, while the department’s employees did not even explain to the agency the reasons for blocking. Thanks to the project to monitor the blocking of Internet resources, Roskomsvoboda "Fergana" found out the reason for the blocking and eliminated it, after which the site was unblocked .
• The Fergana news agency, which has existed since 1998, has been blocked in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Now the blocking is valid only in Turkmenistan.
