In the last two days people from a few websites and blogs that are critical of the ANC led government has been arrested, three of which we know have been released with no charges made against them.
It is clear that the South African government is cracking down on bloggers that are critical of the way they run the country and they want to censor the information these bloggers and websites give out.
One of these are Zasucks where the blogger Uhuru Guru was arrested, spent the night in jail and was released with no charges. No word if he got his computer equipment back that was confiscated.
At another site Boerevryheid.co.za another two bloggers got arrested, their equipment taken and was later released without charges, also no word if they got their equipment back. A lot of people claim that this is because South Africa wants the bad publicity to stop before the 2010 soccer world cup but instead of dealing with the crime directly they now try to scare these bloggers as some would say into shock.
Another blogger of Boer Freedom has been arrested, also this time no charges after spending some time in jail. Some claim this is because they blog about the "boer genocide" that is taking place in South Africa.
Whatever the reason, the government is kicking down doors and arresting people that are critical of them.
The socalled state are plotting against "right wingers" for a long time. It was the same with the socalled "Boeremag" - The appeal document names some informants (or shall we rather say provocateurs) three of them are admitted, but I think there are more rats names in that document as well: http://zaagentprovocateurs.wordpress.com/2009/11/05/s-v-peacock-and-others/
Hi...
I have searched for info on the other arrests: boerevryheid and boerfreedom.. but can't find anything, anywhere?
Not saying it ain't true.. just would like to post and share, and spread the word, but can't find any backup? Is it possible you can clarify a little more on your sources, or where further info is available. Much appreciated.
well if they get their equipment back then its guarenteed to have keyloggers and malware installed. best to bin it and buy new!
I am against any attempts at internet censorship. However I have been doing a bit of investigating, talking to various people etc, surrounding this case, and regret to report that things are not as crystal-clear as they seem at first glance. I have written an update on this story containing the new information I have managed to glean, as follows: However as soon as I obtain more details, I will publish those as well - in the interest of fair and balanced reporting. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%253A%252F%252Fcensorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com%252F2009%252F11%252Fcrime-bloggers-in-sa-arrested.html&h=03dfa78b7d9e656f8d2b65b77925d2a6&ref=mf
I have posted an update on this problem on my website http://censorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com which sheds a bit more light on the circumstances of this puzzling arrest.
