Police raid home of Wikileaks.de domain owner over censorship lists

We don’t know how a wiki works, or how a website is ran. So let’s just raid the guy who’s listed in the whois.

Shortly after 9pm on Monday the 24th of March 2009, seven police officers in Dresden and four in Jena searched the homes of Theodor Reppe, who holds the domain registration for ‘wikileaks.de’. According to the search protocol the reason for the search is “distribution of pornographic material” and “discovery of evidence”. Police claim the raid was initiated due to Mr. Reppe’s position as the Wikileaks.de domain owner….

….Mr Reppe is maintainer of one of the most popular German Tor-proxy servers (morphium.info) and is not involved in the Wikileaks project other than sponsoring the German domain registration and mirroring a collection of US Congressional Research Service reports.
