Bangladesh blocks Facebook pages on religious grounds

Bangladesh is blocking access to five Facebook pages and an unidentified Web site for posting blasphemous remarks and cartoons about the Prophet Mohammed, the Koran and other religious subjects.  

According to an AFP report Thursday, a Bangladeshi court ordered telecom regulator Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission, home ministry officials, as well as the police to block the pages immediately on religious grounds.
