mirror websites, provide them a way to update them, provide
alternative channels to route out information ASAP.
in case of commonroom.info, it might be a dramatic coincidence due to
a server failure on their hosting in the USA, i have no confirmation
on that, but it is not reachable also from here.
these other human rights organizations are still fully rechable
outside:

besides the above statement i have no other details on the situationn
inside .id.
We need a political statement ASAP, we can translate it bahasa
indonesia. does Minbuza has released anything?
does Tor helps to get out?
http://www.torproject.org should, also
social networking websites work with it, even if slower, but do, i
tried last time i was in Jogja. Bono: dyne:bolic can be started with
configuration daemons=tor to have an anonymous web-proxy ready on
localhost:8118, please try if you can reach the outside.
ciao
