Facebook Banned in Bangladesh

Bangladesh has blocked access to Facebook after drawing competition of the prophet Muhammad [PBUH] and the country’s leaders were uploaded, reported BBC.
Officials said the ban was temporary and access to the site would be restored once the images were removed.
A spokesman for the Bangladesh Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (BTRC) told AFP Facebook had “hurt the religious sentiments of the country’s majority Muslim population” by carrying “offensive images” of Prophet Mohammed [PBUH].
“Facebook will be re-opened once we erase the pages that contain the obnoxious images,” said Mr Delwar.
Most Muslims consider representations of the Prophet Muhammad to be blasphemous.
Thousands of people joined anti-Facebook protests in Bangladesh on Friday demanding the site be blocked over the contest.

Other attractions include on-net night calls at Rs. 1 per 30 seconds and free call after 2 minutes, meaning that Rs. 4 per hour. Outgoing MMS are Rs. 1 per 64 KB message. Receiving MMS is free like any other Ufone package.
Following are complete details:

• Daily Charges are Rs. 1 plus tax
• Package selection will cost you Rs. 10 plus tax
