Censorship in Bhutan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Censorship in Bhutan is comparable to its South Asian neighbours, although not as focused or systematic as censorship in China.[citation needed] All news media in Bhutan are controlled by the government; there is no guaranteed government information, even for minor things such as the number of prisoners being held. There is only one newspaper, the Kuensel, and one internet service provider. However, there is little protest against government censorship; indeed, some call for wider censorship of foreign media, believing it deteriorates traditional values.
Censorship online is comparatively lax. The official forums of the Kuensel allow open criticism of the government, and anyone can post from an Internet café.
