| | 3 | German government officials yesterday raided locations related to the Linksunten Indymedia Center, a joint member of [https://tachanka.org Tachanka!] and [https://mayfirst.org May First/People Link], officially banning the organization and forcing the organization’s website off-line. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | The government is accusing Linksunten, one of the German left’s most popular and prominent media resource, of illegally “sowing hate.” |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | This move is the most serious government attack on Linksunten and among the most serious on a member in our history. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | The attack comes just 7 weeks after anti-G8 protests in Hamburg, after which German politicians promised to crack down on “dangerous” dissenters. |
