The Indian Ocean island of Mauritius blocked access to social media on Friday, just days ahead of a general election as tensions mounted over a wire-tapping scandal.

The shock move was announced by telecoms operator EMTEL, which said it was ordered late Thursday by the Information and Communication Technologies Authority to block access to all social media platforms.

The blockage is due to last until November 11 -- a day after the election.

EMTEL said the order referred to "illegal postings that may impact national security and public safety".

It follows a scandal that broke out earlier this month when secret recordings of phone calls by politicians, journalists, members of civil society and even foreign diplomats were leaked online.

There was no immediate comment from the government on the social media ban.

"It's shocking, revolting, and unacceptable. It's a sign of panic," said Paul Berenger, one of the leaders of the opposition Alliance for Change coalition.

"We are dealing with people who are dangerous to the country. Lawyers are working on what can be done legally. We will move very quickly on the legal and political level."

Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth is seeking re-election as head of the Militant Socialist Movement.


He inherited the premiership on the death of his father in 2017 and secured a victory for his coalition in polls two years later.

"This is the last desperate act of a regime in disarray," said Nando Bodha, head of opposition grouping Linion Reform.

"It attacks head-on the fundamental rights of citizens guaranteed by the constitution, including freedom of expression," he added, calling for an intervention by the Election Commission to ensure the polls are "free and fair".

Mauritius inakumbwa na kashfa ya udukuzi wa simu ambayo imeilazimu mamlaka ya mawasiliano kusimamisha upatikanaji wa mitandao ya kijamii hadi Novemba 11, siku moja baada ya uchaguzi mkuu ujao

Mamlaka ya mawasiliano ya Mauritius ilisema siku ya Ijumaa kwamba watoa huduma zote za intaneti lazima wasitishe upatikanaji wa mitandao ya kijamii hadi Novemba 11, siku moja baada ya uchaguzi mkuu ujao, huku nchi ikikumbwa na kashfa ya udukuzi wa mawasiliano.

Mazungumzo kadhaa yanayowahusisha wanasiasa, polisi, mawakili, waandishi wa habari, na wanachama wa jamii yamevuja kwenye mitandao ya kijamii tangu katikati ya mwezi wa Oktoba, kulingana na shirikla la uangalizi wa vyombo vya habari la Reporters Without Borders.

Katika uchaguzi wa Novemba 10, Waziri Mkuu Pravind Kumar Jugnauth anatafuta kudumisha wingi wa chama chake cha Militant Socialist Movement (MSM) bungeni na kujipa miaka mingine mitano madarakani.

Jugnauth na polisi wamedai kwamba mazungumzo ya simu yaliyovuja yamebadilishwa kwa kutumia teknolojia ya akili mnemba.
