The official website of the Reuters news agency has been filtered by Iranian Internet Service Providers, according to reports on Sunday.
According to the Kaleme website affiliated with opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousav, the Reuters website has now become inaccessible for users inside Iran. The Green Voice of Freedom can also independently confirm the reports regarding the website's blockage in Iran.
The news agency is headquartered in London, United Kingdom and is owned by Thomson Reuters.
Iranian authorities regularly restrict netizens’ access to information by censoring news websites, blogs and social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter. In March 2010, the Paris-based media watchdog Reporters Without Borders included Iran in its list of "Enemies of the Internet." The list also pointed the finger at countries such as China, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam and Tunisia that restrict online access and harass their netizens.
