Nepal: Another crisis for free speech

: As the King of Nepal shut down free speech, Max Magee went looking to see what is happening to speech online there. He found one Nepalese blog with this latest post:

As all of you are aware of the current situation of the country and the state of emergency (that has for the time being given us no right to expression), it would be the best to follow the government directives while blogging.

So Please:

Do Not Blog About Political Matters for the time being

    Having dated a Nepali for 4 years, you are not going to find much in the way of blogs. But you can find more information from user groups, message boards, and because it is such a big industry there, travel user groups.
    First the massacre of almost the entire royal family, then the communist insurgency gets larger and more violent, and now this.
    I have written letters to my congressional representatives, but this is so far off the political radar that I think nothing will be done.
