[HIB]Activists unblock Wikileaks for Thais

[newsbot]

A group of anonymous internet activists has set up a website to display information about Thailand that comes from the whistle-blower site Wikileaks, which is blocked to some viewers in the Southeast Asian country. The group calling itself "Wikicong" said it set up the thaileaks.info site as "a tool to break the censorship" - an apparent reference to alleged efforts by the Thai government to block access to the material, which includes a private video of the country's Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn. Some access to the main Wikileaks site has been blocked in Thailand since at least late June. It has been accessible, however, using some variants of the domain name, and through some local internet service providers. Wikileaks drew worldwide publicity in late July when it posted a huge trove of secret US military documents about the war in Afghanistan. Aree Jiyorarak, director of the Computer Crime Office of Thailand's Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, told The Associated Press that Wikileaks is not blocked by his office, but may not be accessible because of a technical glitch.
