APC condemns “arbitrary” seizure of IndyMedia web servers by US and 
European law enforcers

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, October 12 2004 -- APC condemns the actions 
by US and European law enforcement agencies to seize independent online 
news service Indymedia’s web servers closing down over 21 of the more 
than 140 Indymedia web sites worldwide. “We are disturbed by the 
apparently arbitrary and extreme measures taken to silence an 
independent internet-based source of information,” said Anriette 
Esterhuysen, APC’s Executive Director. “This is a violation of freedom 
of expression across international frontiers.” -- APCNews
