Indymedia Under Fire -- Pending Lawsuit Threatens Freedom Of Speech |
by Sascha Meinrath

02 Mar 2003

According to documents recently posted to the Houston IMC News Wire, Loel Coleman, a Houston area lawyer, plans to file a lawsuit against the Houston IMC alleging "libel" on Monday, March 3, 2003. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) will represent Houston IMC during the proceedings. Mr. Coleman's actions are widely seen as an attack on open-publishing (e.g., he has demanded IP logs from Houston IMC) and an attempt to undermine Indymedia generally.
Loel Coleman's case may set legal precedent and is of concern for all Indepedent Media Centers. Copies of the libel suit and plaintiff demands are attached. |

Modified: 27 Feb 2003 |

Hoy, 25 de Febrero del 2003, se cumplen diez aos desde esos dias hermosos, de compromiso con los desplazados internos de las Comunidades de Poblacion en Resistencia, CPRs; pero esa noche se convirtio en una pesadilla, en una noche de terror. Siendo mas o menos las 9:40 pm, mientras yo dormia en la parte de atras de un autobus, fui despertado brutalmente por varios hombres fuertemente armados y vestidos parcialmente de militar. Despues de parar el autobus con rafagas de disparos usando armas de alto calibre, bajaron a todos los pasajeros y cuando yo me disponia a bajar me pararon y no me dejaron hacerlo. Uno de ellos me pregunto, "donde estan los videos y la camara". |

Cities For Peace - On The Road From DC To NYC |
|
by Danielle Chynoweth |
14 Feb 2003

I am a city council member from Urbana, Illinois, an Indymedia activist, and this weekend I found my peeps!
"My peeps" are councilmembers from Chicago, Seattle, Kalamazoo, Providence, Des Moines, Santa Fe and several dozen others from the 93 cities, counties, and states (Maine and Hawaii!) who have passed anti-war resolutions.
With the support of peace groups, we brought forward anti-war resolutions. We worked the phones, lined up our votes, battled with our mayors. Facing budget crises, we argued the local costs of war. We were slammed in the papers - called Alice in Wonderlands, delusional doves, ego-maniacs. And we won. It is lonely business - being progressive policymakers - even when we do win. |

Gazette's Latest Whopping Omission |
|
by Peter Miller |
09 Feb 2003

|
Ever eager to support their president, N-G editors condemn people who question him, and hide facts that might help people evaluate his character and his motives. Also, critique of News-Gazette General Manager John Foreman and a suggestion that he dis-serves the community by belittling reasons to oppose this war. |
