Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly affect the safety of some staff members, Liveleak has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers.We've been here before, haven't we?
This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one.
Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one anothers culture. We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.
Note: I came across the above statement via Poligazette.com which carried a link to the LiveLeak page hosting Wilders' video. Poligazette's website account has now been suspended.
Update
After several hours, Poligazette is back - they're not sure what happened.
Update
A couple of days later and Poligazette still aren't sure what the problem was - a glitch at their INS, maybe.
