Official LiveLeak Statement on The Removal of "Fitna"


Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from cerain corners of the British media that could directly affect the safety of some of our staff members. LiveLeak has been left with no choice but to remove Fitna from our servers.

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 the thank the thousands of people from all backgrounds and religions, who have 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 and 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.
