Freedom and Justice for Political Hacktivists in an age of FBI Intimidation

Hacker Activist Jeremy Hammond Raided by Chicago FBI and Threatened with 
False Felony Charges

On March 17 2005, nine Chicago FBI agents raided and seized all electronic 
equipment in Jeremy Hammond's apartment. Facing intimidation from both the 
FBI and the Secret Service, he is being accused of hacking into right-wing 
website ProtestWarrior.com. While the website had not been damaged and no 
credit cards were billed, the FBI is threatening to charge him with 
unauthorized access and credit card fraud totalling to millions of dollars 
in damages and up to thirty years in federal prison for a crime that hasn't 
even happened.

Jeremy has done no damage to any system and has not charged anything to any 
credit card numbers. He is being targetted by law enforcement for his 
political activism and his involvement in running the hacking website 
HackThisSite.org. If the FBI indicts Jeremy, he faces federal prison and 
tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. Support is desperately needed 
to fight this FBI indimidation and these ridiculous charges!
