SOUTH AMERICA:
Indymedia
Seizure Hits Two Nations
Freedom of
expression worldwide has been under threat since agents of the U.S.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) last week seized two Internet
servers hosting websites of the Independent Media Centres. In Latin
America, Indymedia Brazil and Uruguay are directly affected.
"The incident resembles a Kafka novel," Pablo Ortellado of Indymedia
Brazil told IPS in an e-mail interview. "Our equipment was seized and we
don't exactly know when, by whom or why."
The servers confiscated on Oct. 7 were located in the UK premises of
Rackspace, a U.S.-based company, and hosted 21 sites.
Indymedia is a network of more than 140 websites worldwide. It was
established in 1999 to report alternative viewpoints on the World Trade
Organisation's conference in Seattle, and is now a major source of
information for the anti-globalisation movement.
