The Cambodian government has denied that action was taken against critical web blog that runs from overseas.
Khieu Kanharith, minister of information and the government's spokesman said Wednesday that no action was taken against KI-Media, a web blog which is critical to the government.
He said he still can access to the web as of Wednesday afternoon.
Earlier in the day, local media Cambodian Express News reported a few users of EZECOM internet service provider, one of the country's internet services are complaining they are not able to access to the website, quoting a source as saying all websites with BlogSpot which includes KI-Media are blocked by the Interior Ministry.
But, spokesman of Interior Ministry could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.
KI-Media which runs from overseas is considered by some readers as a critical blog against the Cambodian government which often carries articles touching on corruption, poverty among others.
No one could confirm whereabouts KI-Media is exactly operated, except saying it is run from overseas.
