Ten people were arrested. Over twenty homes and offices, including the office of the VGT (Association against Animal Factories) were searched, mostly by special police squads, which in some cases entered premises by breaking down the door and threatening inhabitants at gun point. Computers, complete with donator data bases, papers, including the book keeping and other items of property were seized and apart from a few exceptions, nothing has yet been returned. < - > It has been inferred by the prosecution that because some of the detainees use PGP to protect their data from unauthorised misuse that they belong to a criminal organization. It is as if one should be regarded as suspicious for locking one's door. < - > http://news.infoshop.org/article.php?story=20080708213849837 ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
