Police raid servers ahead of G8 summit

Good thing we don't live in a police state

UK police have raided the Bristol offices of independent news network Indymedia and seized PC servers as part of an investigation in the run up to the forthcoming G8 meeting in Scotland.

The move is similar to a police raid on the alternative media outlet last October, when Indymedia servers in London were confiscated just prior to the European Social Forum.

Before police confiscated its servers, Indymedia Bristol stated: "We do not intend to voluntarily hand over information to the police as they have requested."

One person was reported to have been arrested during the raid. The independent news group said that it is receiving advice from civil liberties organisations and the National Union of Journalists.
