Hi

We've put this round the Bristol list and we would also like to sign it.
Similarly to Notts... If you need any extra help just ask and we'll see
what we can do...

Cheers

>> Subject: Indymedia Server Seized in the UK
>>
>> Dear Indymedia-Researchers
>>
>> Last Thursday, an Indymedia Server was seized by the police in
>> Manchester, UK. This is not the first time that Indymedia Servers were
>> seized in the UK. Some of you might remember the first case in 2004,
>> when a main Indymedia server was seized in an operation which involved
>> International law, an Italian Judge, an American District Court and the
>> FBI.
>>
>> The loss of a server represents a serious damage to the infrastructure
>> of the global indymedia project as well as the local grassroots social
>> movements. It is ressource-intensive resource-intensive to replace a
>> server both financially and time-wise. On the other hand, such
>> incidents can raise public attention to issues like civil liberties and
>> free speech, data-retention laws and also to the work of alternative
>> media projects.
>>
>> Indymedia UK is collecting statements of support to publish on its
>> website, and to use in press releases ? about the value of the project,
>> or about the political implications of the recent server seizure.
>>
>> We are approaching you because you have published on indymedia in the
>> past ? from political, cultural, or media- and communication angles,
>> sometimes supportive, sometimes more critically. Sometimes we have
>> cooperated with you, sometimes we made your live difficult. Some of you
>> have been involved in indymedia collectives yourselves.
>>
>> If the recent server seizure corresponds with your work on alternative
>> media / social movements / ICT / civil liberties, and if you want to
>> support Indymedia, we would be happy to receive a statement of support
>> from you.
>>
>> The details about the most recent server seizure are in an indymedia uk
>> report
>> www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/01/419838....,
>> in a dedicated info page
>> www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/01/420278....
>> and in the attached press release.
>> You can send a statement of support to the privately archived mailing
>> list
>> imc-uk-contact at lists.indymedia.org,
