Russia shuts 9,000 child porn websites

Russia has shut down more than 9,000 internet pages of child pornography in 2011, senior official said in a conference.

"Some 20,000 complaints from citizens and organizations were processed by the League last year," Denis Davydov, the executive director of the Safe Internet League said yesterday.

He said most complaints, some 19,000, were against the circulation of child pornography. "Over 9,000 pages of child pornography were closed after we turned to the law enforcement bodies last year." Davydov added.

Complaints against narcotics propaganda rate second (637 complaints). "After the protests of the Safe Internet League, hazardous contents were removed from 164 cites," Davydov said.

As many as 18 criminal proceedings were instituted last year on the basis of the information the Safe Internet League had supplied.
