Statewatch: DID THE UK GOVERNMENT COLLUDE IN THE SEIZURE OF INDYMEDIA'S SERVERS IN LONDON?
See also here.
"A trail that started in Switzerland and Italy has now ended fairly and squarely in the lap of the UK Home Secretary to justify."
Statewatch analysis shows that under the UK-USA Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) a US request to seize 'articles' (eg: web servers) in the UK has to be agreed by the Home Secretary.
- Indymedia statement, 8 October.
- Statement on FBI seizure of Indymedia servers (pdf) in London by Aidan White, General Secretary, International Federation of Journalists:
"We have witnessed an intolerable and intrusive international police operation against a network specialising in independent journalism. The way this has been done smacks more of intimidation of legitimate journalistic inquiry than crime-busting."
