Reporters Without Borders lists 13 "enemies of the Internet"

The campaigning group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) on Monday listed 13 
countries it labelled as "enemies of the Internet" ahead of a 24 hour campaign 
in favour of free access to the web.  The 13 countries are: Saudi Arabia, 
Belarus, Myanmar, China, North Korea, CUBA, Egypt, Iran, Uzbekistan, Syria, 
Tunisia, Turkmenistan and Vietnam.  Three countries were removed from 
RSF's 2005 list -- Libya, the Maldives and Nepal.  However the inclusion of 
Egypt was because "President Hosni Mubarak is displaying an 
authoritarianism towards the Internet that is particularly worrying," RSF said 
-- noting the recent imprisonment of three pro-democracy bloggers.  RSF is 
asking the public to register on its Internet site in "defense of on-line free 
expression and the fate of bloggers in repressive countries."  

Live free or die.  Go vote.
