KEY POINTS:
The military junta in Myanmar is desperately trying to stem the flow information about the country's turmoil to the rest of the world.
Website mizzima.com says the authorities have blocked popular blogs that have been continuously posting news and photographs of the violence against monks and protesters.
Popular domestic Myanmar blogs Kohitke and Niknayman have been blocked from uploading further content today.
"Curbs of freedom of expression by the people and restricting the free media are a blatant violation of fundamental human rights. We condemn the SPDC vehemently," A Niknayman blogger said.
The ruling junta has also blocked phones belonging to politicians, reporters for local and foreign media and even student activists.
Government owned MPT and Bagan Cyber Tech blocked the websites and blogs to restrict and ban the free flow of information in and out of Burma, said mizzima.com.
Rumours also persist that the authorities will block internet connections, it said.
