Dear Wolf,
Thanks for your posting to Leftlink re IGC's removal of the EHJ website
and for the background information on the other groups that
have been mailbombed from Spain.

Leftlink is not a discussion list so I was unable to post your message
to the group. However, I did send your details to the list in
the message attached below. Hope this is of some help.

Please send us a copy of your `open letter' when it is completed.

In solidarity,
Marg Hutton
Leftlink moderator

Subject: LL:IGC removal of EHJ web site 

On 22 July, an article was crossposted to Leftlink concerning IGC
removing a web page from its site in response to a campaign of
mail bombing. (See gopher://gopher.igc.apc.org/00/headlines/50 for
a copy of this original article).

Yesterday Leftlink received a message from a group in Germany, (Infogroup
of Hanover) responding to what they considered to be IGC's censorship of
the New York based, Euska Herria Journal web site. This site no longer
exists on the web and has been replaced by an IGC explanatory page. See:
http://www.igc.apc.org/ehj/html/hb3.html

Infogroup of Hanover are looking for people to help them put together
an open letter to send `to newspapers around the world' concerning this
issue. They can be contacted at: ig-h@trilos.han.de or at
ingoha@hotmail.com

Monday's edition of the New York Times carrried a feature article on the
suppression of the EHJ web site:

And for those interested in reading more about this debate, an
advanced search at http://www.reference.com using the phrase
Euskal+Herria+Journal  will provide dozens of articles.
