Will IMC please be clear about Witse and its policy of police deals

Wanting an explanation | 05.08.2007 09:33 | Indymedia

One of the IMC admins, Witse, appears to be attempting to misinform the IMC readerbase about IMC\'s arrangements with the police. This lack of transparency has enabled IMC to be compromised by the police and others. It is time for IMC to come clean on this issue that just doesn\'t go away.

In a post that has subsequently been hidden for one or other violation of IMC\'s publishing guidelines, an interesting challenge was put out:
The IMC admin \"Witse [...] has admited as much in this internal document where he talks about \"keeping police observation information away from the newswire\" \" - the hidden post is at:  https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/08/377455.html

I would like to call on IMC to declare - publicly - its integrity, and to state that it does not knowingly engage in deals with the police, corporate or state representatives, or their proxies to restrict content and opinion on the IMC newswire.

This is not the first such allegation of this kind of arrangement with police and spooks. It is time for IMC-UK to come clean on this matter.
