TUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisia has arrested 20 men for browsing radical Islamist Web Sites, human rights groups said on Tuesday.
The North African country tightly controls the media and jailed its first "Internet dissident" last year for disseminating "false information" on the Web, activists say.
"The 20 men, aged 18-22 and most of them high-school students, were arrested on February 5-9 in Zarzis for entering banned Internet Web Sites," said the Tunisian Human Rights League, the country's only legal independent rights group.
Although the reason for arrest is not totally clear, the measures appear to be extreme. Tunisia is not on my "places to visit" list. Reuters has more.
