The website of Swedish state broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT) has been blocked in Ethiopia amid claims that the reason is their reporting of the case of journalists Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye
According to sources contacted by SVT, the svt.se website has been down in the country since early on Saturday morning.
Persson and Schibbye were recently released from Ethiopian prison and SVT is among the news media which have reported on claims that evidence was falsified to secure their convictions on terror charges.
"Ethiopia is very uncomfortable with the information that we have broadcast. They know that we are going to produce more," said reporter Johan Ripås to svt.se.
According to Mikael Hvinlund at SVT the cause of the interruption is under investigation.
