[bbc] A court in Cairo has issued a ruling that bans pornographic websites in Egypt, state news agency Mena reports.
The Administrative Court in Cairo has ordered the government to block the "venomous and vile" sites in response to a case filed by a Muslim lawyer.
Nizar Ghorab had argued that the "electronic dens of vice" were destroying Egyptian social values.
The Ministry of Communications, which regulates internet providers in Egypt, says it has not heard of the decision.
"Letting these websites [operate] ruins moral values," AFP news agency quoted the court ruling as saying.
"Freedoms of expression and public rights should be restricted by maintaining the fundamentals of religion, morality and patriotism."
