'Enemies of the internet' blacklisted

A list of 13 "enemies of the internet" has been released by human rights group Reporters Without Borders, reports BBC Online.

The list is comprised of the countries Reporters Without Borders, which has been a harsh critic of China and Yahoo, believes are suppressing freedom of expression on the Internet.

Here is this year's list:

BLACKLISTED

Belarus
Burma
China
Cuba
Egypt
Iran
North Korea
Saudi Arabia
Syria
Tunisia
Turkmenistan
Uzbekistan
Vietnam

"We wanted to mobilize Net users so that when we lobby certain countries we can say that the concerns are not just ours but those of thousands of internet users around the world," a spokesman for the group told the BBC.
