Facebook closes official page of the Sana’a presidency office

Facebook has arbitrarily closed the official page of the Presidency Office, without any legal justification or violation of Facebook’s alleged standards.

The Information Department of the Presidency Office condemned the closure of the page by Facebook.

The department explained in a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA) that the page was removed after the number of followers reached more than 150 ,000 followers, noting that this is not the first time that the page of the Presidency Office on the social networking site Facebook has been closed.

The statement stressed that the continued closure of pages and accounts by Facebook and some social media sites against the policies of  arrogant countries, led by the US, reveals the falsity of the slogans they raise in the name of democracy and freedom of expression.
