Several incidents are missing on this page. Of the top of my head
I remember

* the seizure of IMC Bristol servers in 2005
  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/06/315177.html

* the seizure of an IMC UK and global Indymedia (IMC Docs) server
  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/01/420278.html
  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/09/437512.html

* the DNS ban of Indymedia Istanbul in 2008
  http://istanbul.indymedia.org/news/2008/03/235295.php
  http://london.indymedia.org/articles/717
  https://docs.indymedia.org/Global/IstanbulBlock

* the shutdown of IMC Israel in 2003
  http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0312/S00223.htm
  http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2003/12/276171.shtml
  ... and, possibly, again in 2009
  http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/06/21/18603344.php

* repeated attempts to shutdown Indymedia Athens and Patras in 2008
  and 2009
  http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/07/19/18609126.php
  http://athens.indymedia.org/front.php3?lang=en&article_id=1056060

* requests to hand over IP address logs of paris.indymedia.org

http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-process/2005-February/0221-yr.html

It might be better to collect these incidents on the docs.indymedia.org
wiki (and add a link to it on indymedia.org/fbi) so that it's not the
job of the nowadays few www.indymedia.org moderators to track them.
