Chile: Gay group claims Web site hacked
Quote:
SANTIAGO, Chile, June 6 (UPI) -- A Chilean gay rights group claims its Web site was hacked by a Chilean skinhead group.
...
This wasn't the first time the gay rights group was attacked in cyberspace, having suffered two previous hacking defacements, according to MOVLIH head Rolando Jimenez.
"We constantly receive threats via the Internet, phone calls, things that are now part of our daily lives. There have been flyers with my name on them ... I get mails saying things like 'I've got a bullet with your name on it.' Things like that," Jimenez told the Times.

MOVILH is a bit more forthcoming on their web site than the Washington Times was (and why not? -- It's their own site).
They add that the hack was condemned by diverse human rights organizations, both Chilean and international. Support has come from Amnesty International, the Centro de Investigación y Estudios Interdisciplinarios en Sexualidad of Uruguay, Globa Diversidad of Argentina, the Federación Argentina de Lesbianas, Gays, Bisexuales y Transexuales (FALGBT), Radio Mitos, the sociación Chilena de la Protección de la Familia (Aprofa) and the institución de Asesoría y Capacitación en Psicología y Salud (Ikastola).
Surprisingly, Movilh also says on their web site that they have received endorsements from skinhead groups which pointed out that not all skinheads are homophobic, only those skinhead groups related to neo-Nazism. |
