FBI Cracking Down on Indymedia?
The "Indymedia" movement of independent media centers has been one of the most hopeful initiatives for democracy over the past few years. The Indymedia sites post stories from amateur reporters, in print, video and audio formats. The regional Independent Media Centers have been particularly active during large scale protests, covering them with a range and detail seen nowhere else.
Now there's disturbing news that the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has seized Indymedia's computers in Britain. Details are lacking, but it certainly looks like yet another chilling violation of free speech in the name of "homeland security." Here's another article, from a local Indymedia Center. More as this frightening story develops. As we get information we will participate in any and all protests of this seizure. You can also check out thread on the Nonviolence.org Board (though much of it lame name-calling, sigh...)
