It can't block just 
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Bhumibol_Adulyadej
They would need to blacklist the whole secure server.

What it may not be blocking are
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bhumibol_Adulyadej or
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=250835396


For being a goverment, they could at least improve the page they're 
redirecting people to. An 'Unconfigured IIS' page, no dns on other 
domain sections. :/
