RSF welcomes decision to cancel blocking of Kloop website
The international organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF) welcomes the Administrative Court’s decision to cancel the blocking of the Russian language version of the investigative media website Kloop. The statement was posted on X.
The media outlet’s representatives specified that this decision applies only to the Russian-language version of Kloop website, which has been blocked since September 12, and in Kyrgyz — since early November.
Kloop.kg website was blocked because of the material «Politician Ravshan Dzheenbekov stated that he was tortured in the pretrial detention center 1». The State Committee for National Security complained to the Ministry of Culture about it. The special services believe that the material «does not correspond to reality and defames the reputation of the SCNS». At the same time, the news item about Dzheenbekov contained the position of the Penitentiary Service denying his statement about torture.
