Swiss bank obtains injunction against whistleblower site

Swiss bank Julius Baer has obtained an injunction in a Californian court against a whistleblowers
website that published details of its financial activities in the Cayman Islands. Wikileaks was founded in
2006 by Chinese dissidents, journalists, mathematicians and startup company technologists from the
US, Taiwan, Europe, Australia and South Africa.
Wikileaks aims to offer a platform for whistleblowers to expose malpractice by governments and firms
across the globe in the name of transparency and freedom of speech. The site claims to contain 1.2
million documents, including confidential briefing notes on Northern Rock and the UK's identity card
plans.
The site has previously published confidential documents relating to the US army’s rules for
engagement in Iraq, Guantanamo Bay, the Chinese government and Thailand’s military junta. Users can
post documents anonymously on the site, which looks like Wikipedia.

Vielleicht für die Schweizer im Forum interessant.
