Tehran blocks access to Facebook

Iran has blocked access to social networking site Facebook ahead of June's
presidential elections, Iran's Ilna news agency and web users say.
Ilna says the move is aimed at stopping supporters of reformist candidate
Mir Hossein Mousavi from using the site for his campaign.

It said that "according to certain Internet surfers, the site was banned
because supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi were using Facebook to better
disseminate the candidate's positions".

His page on Facebook has more than 5,000 supporters.
