It's been a while since i wrote a blog. Thought it would be good to update on our internet event on 6 june. By the skin of our teeth it was webcast globally, which was great. For those who missed it you can register and watch it here http://www.gginternet1.co.uk/amnesty/irrepressible01/. In addition it would be great if people would visit the campaign website and use the recently launched news hub at http://irrepressible.info/news .
There were a number of great contributions to the evening from the likes of Richard Stallman, Shava Nerad, Ron Deibert, Sami Ben Gharbia, Sina Motelabi, Kevin Anderson, Morton Sklar, Yam Shan-Shackleton, Josh Wolf and others together with podcasts from Jimmy Wales, Cory Doctorow Ethan Zuckerman etc etc. A great evening chaired superbly by Clark Boyd of the BBC!
Many thanks to all those who gave up their time to participate in the event. Also big thanks to the Observer and Guardian for their support for the campaign, which goes on with the Internet Governance Forum in the Autumn. There are a number of media stories about the event and internet repression / censorship on the Guardian/Observer websites http://www.guardian.co.uk/ and http://observer.guardian.co.uk/
