Authorities in Bangladesh have lifted the ban on Facebook, the social networking website.
The website had been blocked a week earlier over caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed and "obnoxious" images of Bangladeshi leaders.
The Bangladesh Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (BTRC) ordered the country's international Internet gateway providers to unblock the site on Sunday after the US-based company agreed to remove the controversial images and content.
"The Facebook is now open," BTRC vice-chairman Hasan Mahmud Delwar told the AFP news agency.
The move came after Pakistan lifted a similar ban on Facebook last week following a court order.
Islamabad had blocked the social networking site, video website YouTube and 1,200 web pages over a row about "blasphemous" content on the Internet.here
