Court bans Charlie Hebdo twitter in Chechnya

In compliance with the request of the prosecutor's office of Chechnya in Grozny, a court has banned the page of Charlie Hebdo on twitter due to images which "offend the religious feelings of believers, expressing disrespect for the image of the prophet, as well as cartoons mocking the Russian plane crash A321 in Egypt."

The court's decision is directed at the management of Roskomnadzor of the Chechen Republic in order to include it in the Unified Register of banned sites, Gazeta.ru reports.
