A new blog, Radio Free Nepal, has been set up as a place where Nepalese journalists and bloggers can post information anonymously... because they could go to jail if the government finds out who they are. The blog's header explains:
King Gyandendra of Nepal has issued a ban on independent news broadcasts and has threatened to punish newspapers for reports that run counter to the official monarchist line. Given that any person in Nepal publishing reports critical of "the spirit of the royal proclamation" is subject to punishment and/or imprisonment, contributors to this blog will publish their reports from Nepal anonymously.
The most recent entries are mainly linking to the latest news. But scroll down a bit and you'll see some first-hand accounts of what happened earlier this month. Into the Global Voices Nepal wiki page it goes.
