Demonstration held in response to the raid on The Pirate Bay

Via The Pirate Watch Blog -

Demonstration in Stockholm. A one hour demonstration was held today in response to the raid on The Pirate Bay, Piratbyrån and more on May the 31:th, where over 100 servers were seized. This without any proven criminal offence.

The demands of the demonstration were that the Swedish goverment, instead of criminalizing more than one million of their citizens should seek a compromise in the issue.The organizers were Piratpartiet, Piratbyrån, Grön ungdom, Liberala Ungdomsförbundet and Ung vänster.


---------------------------

When this story first broke, it was rumored that the raid's true target was Piratbyran and not Pirate Bay itself. Piratebyran is the communtiy board of the group, I do believe.

Anyone heard this as well?

Something about the Swedish government attempt to silence certain groups.
