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

It should be noted that Australia has signed up to the same treaty under which it is suspected the IMC servers were seized.
