We have yet to hear what the charges are in this case. Though the article seems to indicate it has something to do with a Swiss undercover operation that was being exposed by an Indymedia site. However, it does smack of intimidation.

In the US, the civil liberties group, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) said it was working with Indymedia over how to react to the seizures.

“The constitution does not permit the government unilaterally to cut off the speech of an independent media outlet, especially without providing a reason or even allowing Indymedia the information necessary to contest the seizure,” said EFF Staff Attorney Kurt Opsahl.
