>>> 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,
>>> or reply directly to this mail.
