FB accounts of BBS blocked

Thursday, 26 June 2014 

Facebook has taken measures to block Facebook accounts of the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) and its officials.

Speaking to 'Sri Lanka Mirror', CEO of the BBS - Dilanthe Withanage has said that even his personal Facebook account has been blocked since this morning (June 26).

He added that the accounts have been blocked over the complaint of a certain individual or group.

A few days earlier, the Facebook accounts of the BBS and its General Secretary Ven. Gnanasara Thera have been blocked.

Noting that the website http://bodubalasena.net/owned by the BBS is also being blocked, Withanage further added that http://bodubalasena.com/ is being operated from overseas.

However, the http://bodubalasena.org/sinhala/index.phpwebsite has been suspended, he added.
