Dushanbe, Tajikistan, November 30, 2012 – The U.S. Embassy is concerned with the apparent decision by the Communications Service of the Republic of Tajikistan to block access to Facebook, Radio Ozodi, and other Internet news sites.

The United States believes that the right of individuals to express their views freely is universal, whether exercised in a public square or on the Internet.

We urge the Government of Tajikistan to respect individual rights to freedom of expression and lift its restriction on Facebook, Radio Ozodi, and other blocked news sites.
