Access to the site has been restricted in Pakistan after a warning to "blasphemous content" was issued to "Wikipedia".

APA reports with reference to "Aljazeera" that the Wikimedia Foundation has released information about this.

Earlier this week, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) gave Wikipedia 48 hours to block or remove "blasphemous" information, or else access to the site would be restricted.

A PTA spokesman said Wikipedia would remain blocked in Pakistan until it removed "all objectionable material".
