Information control: the impact of internet censorship in Central Asia and Eastern Europe

Date: Wednesday, 13th October 2010

Internet access is something we take take for granted while across Central Asia and Eastern Europe it is often influenced, monitored and even censored by governments. The level of censorship in former Soviet republics can be quite extreme with the banning of the BBC website in Uzbekhistan while Kazakhstan closely monitors and restricts the use of social networking websites. Reporters sans Frontieres identifies the 'worst violators of freedom of expression on the net', listing Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan amongst its 12 enemies of the Internet (2010).

Paul Byfield, a legal information specialist with the European bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), will provide some insights into the spread of internet censorship in Central Asia and neighbouring countries and will explain how this is impacting on the cultural, political and economic climate in this region.


Directions to CILIP: http://www.cilip.org.uk/contact-us/pages/map.aspx

The access codes for the building are E, G, W, X.

ILIG Informals are not lectures; they are informal, but informative, early evening meetings with a short talk on a theme of international interest plus plenty of time for questions and networking. They are open to all and absolutely free. Light refreshments are served which is why we ask you to let us know you are coming by contacting us by 10th October. We look forward to seeing you.

The International Library and Information Group is a special interest group of CILIP: the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, registered charity number 313014.
