Re: [IAC#RG] Fwd: Death Threats to RTI Activist Vishwas Bhamburkar

Veeresh

Thanks. Other old time / veteran RTI activists, like Lalit Mohan
Sharma in Delhi are also under threats and have been beaten black and
blue by cops and false FIRs registered using police informers.

I noticed that Vishwas had posted on his Facebook page,
https://www.facebook.com/vishwas.bhamburkar/posts/10152404723467289

This is not enough. So after getting you email I have booked the domain name
HTTP://WIKILEAKS.ORG.IN

IAC shall use this to put up a WIKI where citizens we trust can "leak"
ie. upload their RTI obtained data into public domain.

Alternatively perhaps we shall work out some sort of PASSWORD
encrypted file upload so that if anything happens to IAC's activists
their data is still available. The password shall be technologically
shared with 6 or 8 trustees in a manner that the cops cannot torture
say 2 or 3 of us to extract it or the Controller of Cyber Authoritys
cannot force any single person to decrypt it without a court order.

IACians and RTI activists may give ideas.
