Indymedia UK server seized (again)! Without serving a warrant, Kent Police removed an Indymedia server from hosting company UK Grid in Manchester. This is believed to be related to posts on the SHAC trial. Indymedia UK, London and Docs sites are affected.
On January 22, 2009, police seized a UK Indymedia server colocated in Manchester, strummer.indymedia.org.uk, apparently on the basis that two comments containing the home address of the judge in the Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) trial were posted to the site.

Court rejects legal action against police brutality

at the 2005 CzechTek techno-festival

23 Jun 2007

Prague City court rejected on Wednesday the 20th of June, 2007 two administrative charges against the police procedures during the teknival (freetekno festival) CzechTek in the summer of 2005. The charges wanted the police’s actions to been announced as illegal.

The court rejection was based on the accordance of Czech law, which states that the only procedure which can be charged is one where illegal action of the state authority continues. According to the court, this condition was not fulfilled, and even if so, it is not their authority to judge the illegality of the police action. The members of CzechTek who proposed the charge, were represented by the non-state organization Iuridicum Remedium (www.iure.org).
