Access to Internet stopped in Ingushetia on the eve of opposition rally

On the eve of the rally of the opposition against corruption, kidnappings and unlawful executions, planned for January 26, two Ingushetian Internet providers - the Closed Joint-Stock Company (CJSC) "ITT" and the Limited Liability Company (LLC) "Telecom" - have received orders today to stop the service of connecting their clients to the Internet.

The "Ingushetia.Ru" reports that by following the order the providers have roughly breached the legislation on defence of consumers' rights. The clients of these companies were not even explained the reason of disconnection from the Internet.

Back in November last year these companies blocked the "Ingushetia.Ru" website, following the instruction of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic Musa Medov. The blocking is not lifted until now. Probably being afraid that people are now able to bypass the blocking, the authorities have now made up their mind to safeguard by cutting-off the Internet as a whole.
