was looking a the sites on pirate bay yesterday with a woman activist and film-maker
and we spotted that. Has IFEX reported the issue of repression?



Today's (and yesterdays) London Independent and Guardian have articles
on the ongoing repressions in Italy also with fine sysytems for a variety of
misdemeanours including Beach and Museum etiquette.

This increases the coffers of the domestic soft security types and councils.

also last week there were reports on the Berlusconi annoyance at multiple
references to Italian Fascism - with regard to the well publicised attacks on
the Roma community by the Northern League, the paratroopers on the streets
and the leader of Italy referring to an ethnic group as 'an army of evil'.

hopefully soon the bugs with the Pirate Bays blogging service will be fixed and the new software being installed this month will allow for new blogs to open on the servers which use "wordpress" but are not censored - as long as it goes under Swedish law - you can write what you want. -
