Taslima gets her Facebook account back

The Facebook account of exiled Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen has been restored.

Earlier on Tuesday, authorities of the social website deactivated the account after numerous pro-Islamic Facebook users 'reported' against her writings on the website.

Taslima took to Twitter to thank her supporters and well-wishers for taking positions against the deactivation of her Facebook account.

“Finally I got my fb back. Thanks to supportive media and my fb friends and followers. Hey Facebook, please ignore fanatics complaints,” she tweeted (@taslimanasreen).

There are several accounts of Facebook with fake IDs of Taslima Nasreen, but her real Facebook account was disabled.

“This is happening repeatedly. All fake accounts in the name of Taslima Nasreen have remained active. But the real account of Taslima stands disabled,” she wrote in the microblogging site.

In a tweet, Taslima claimed that she had 5,000 friends and 74,000 followers on Facebook.

“I have seven email addresses. The Facebook has kept disable all my email addresses. Thats why I cannot open a new account” the writer alleged in her tweet.

Nasreen fled Bangladesh in 1994 and spent the next ten years in exile in the West. She relocated to Kolkata, India, in 2004, where she lived until 2007. After renewed unrest broke out, she left for the West again in 2008. She currently resides in New Delhi.
