[Imc-communication] Athens Indymedia Under Imminent Threat

[LA]

According to well informed sources, Police officers have requested that 
the Athens Indymedia Server is immediately disconnected from the network 
where it is currently hosted. The Police want Athens Indymedia to go 
offline immediately, in the face of the anniversary of the 1973 student 
uprising against the military junta, to be commemorated this coming Friday.

November 17th is annually commemorated with militant demonstrations and 
participants often find refuge in university grounds, which are 
protected by asylum under the country's constitution. It is widely 
speculated that this year the police will attempt to break the asylum 
and enter the university grounds - hence their efforts to get athens 
indymedia offline beforehand.

This is a message to inform the Global Indymedia Network about our 
current situation; please be alert as Athens Indymedia might be in 
trouble very soon. This also means that our website might be down for an 
unknown (hopefully short) period of time. In any case you can reach us 
at imc-athens-editorial at lists.indymedia.org

We will keep you posted.

In Solidarity & Struggle,

The Athens IMC Collective
