Cyber-Activists Strike Liberal Party Website
Cyber-Activists Strike Australian Liberal Party
Website
Nauru Hunger Striker Solidarity
At 9am this
morning (Australian East Coast time), Cyber activists
from across the world started their solidarity sit-in on
the
websites for DIMIA and the Liberal Party. They vow
to keeping
jamming these websites whilst people are
starving to death on Nauru
at the hands of Liberal party
policy.
Shortly after 9am the original website promoting
the electronic
civil disobedience was taken offline, but
it wasn't very long before
a number of mirror sites
sprung up over the internet. One of the
great advantages
of the internet are decentralised information
flows. If
one node is attacked or threatened, other nodes can
instantly become active. As it is with this cyber sit-in
in which
all participants are acting completely
autonomously.
Some of the websites now hosting the cyber sit-in include:
http://refugee.autonomous.org/nauru/frameset.html
http://www34.brinkster.com/freedomordeath/
http://freetherefugeeswith.satanicwebsites.com/
http://freedom-from-nauru.chaosmagic.com/
Many
cyber activists are also encouraging people to create their
own
web pages and host the sit-in themselves.
Will the
government pay attention? How many people will have to die
at the hands of the Australian government's policies
before
Australians demand accountability? Will
government officials meet
with the asylum seekers or
will they die slowly and painfully? All
Australians are
urged to phone DIMIA urging freedom for the hunger
striking asylum seekers.
It is now taking close to 30
seconds to load a DIMIA web page and
this time period
will increase dramatically in the coming days.
