Solidarity against ElBaradei

It's not just in Egypt that Mohamed ElBaradei's calls for constitutional reform are making the authorities twitchy.

Earlier this month, the Kuwaiti authorities arrested more than 30 of his supporters and summarily deported most of them. 

A couple of weeks ago, the UAE was reported to be blocking access to a pro-Baradei website, Save Egypt Front, and now it's the Saudis' turn. Less than 24 hours after its launch, the kingdom began blocking the US website of Egyptian Association for Change, according to the Egyptian Chronicles blog.

UPDATE, 29 April: A reader in the UAE says the site was working yesterday. The blocking was originally reported by the Egyptian ANHRI on April 13. I don't know if the blocking decision has been rescinded. There also seems to have been some confusion at the time as to which site was blocked. Any further info gratefully received.
