<nettime> bomboclat: netstrike communicate |
Date: Sat, 18 Aug 2001 19:52:26 +0200 From: bomboclat@ecn.org Subject: [Connect] netstrike communicate Hi, I'm sending you all bad news from italy. As you probably remember the site www.netstrike.it had been seized by police, and some even worst facts are starting now. Please send it to all the people you think could be interested on it. Sorry if I seem to much telegrafic but here the situation is hot and the things to do are many... wishing to post better news soon. see ya! bomboclat "www.netstrike.it" who has seen it? The telematic protest site has got good chances to become the summertime thriller. A new chapter joins the eighth investigative front over the facts in genoa, all based on not well defined telematics facts. After eight postal policeman coming from genoa have introduced theirselves to Isole nella Rete's provider to seize (!?!) the directory corresponding to www.netstrike.it (attempt of obscuring the site which has ruined thanks to a big and immediate international solidariety), they have profused the same effort to find an unlucky young media activist from Milan to make an investigation in his parents' house in Piedmont, and from there brought to his house in milan to make a second investigation. All his informatic belongings have been sequestrated (cdroms, floppies, pc and cellular phone) and even papers. This operations follows the sequestration of his laptop in his office while he was on holiday and without telling him. We remark the eccessive attention of our police in conducing this operations and the consequent repressive climas they are establishing. We invite the Magistracy to think on his work and to his doubtful interpretation of this legal protest behaviours on the net, seen that after the protest is over there are no damages of any kind. We invite all the people to keep alerted until this grotesque and impressive turnaround of the police even in summertime for half Italy won't turn into future, and more worring attempts of censoring indipendent medias on the Net which have so clearly made evident during G8 a thruth which if it's not revolutionary, surely appears uncomfortable to them. workgroup of netstrike.it Isole nella Rete sTRANONETWORk For further informations and contacts write to: inr@ecn.org netstrike@autisitici.org # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
