  Do you have any more information, Amira? I see that Shams has a screengrab from one of the blogs which has a “click here” link in English to complain about the blocking… Any petitions or protests being organised?

  As far as I know, access to LGBT blogs in Bahrain has been filtered as part of a major crackdown on the Internet which saw thousands of blogs/websites filtered in the country, including all proxy sites which help surfers bypass the block and political and human rights sites, among others.

  Here’s a link to a petition to unblock sites in general in Bahrain:
