Details on the Indymedia server seizure are beginning to emerge. Following is an excerpt from an AFP (Agence France Presse) article.

Se fondant sur une information dévoilée par la Radio suisse romande, la Tribune de Genève avaient indiqué jeudi que les policiers avaient déposé plainte contre X pour injures et menaces et s'étaient constitués partie civile.

Le site français Indymedia-Nantes a publié à la mi-septembre les photos à visages découverts des deux inspecteurs, accompagnés d'appels à la violence. La police genevoise avait auparavant elle-même diffusé sur son propre site internet la photo de certains "casseurs présumés", à la suite des manifestations en marge du G8.

The French site Indymedia-Nantes published, in mid-September, the photos, with faces clearly visible, of the two inspectors, accompanied by calls for violence. The Genevan police had earlier itself distributed on its own internet site the photos of certain "presumed people-using-violence-to-break-things", following the demonstrations around the G8.

[Does "Peut etre qu'il y a d'autres choses que cet inspecteur n'obliera jamais ! Car il n'y a pas que le Carpacio comme plat qui se mange froid !" count as "calls for violence"? Maybe there are other things that the inspector will never forget! Since the Carpacio [an Italian dish] is not the only thing that should be eaten cold. It's an allusion to revenge, but not quite a call to violence. In any case, the FBI never bothered to point to the specific sentence.]
