6 September 2014

The authors of this website from FBME Limited take this chance to apologise for the unavailability of the site during the afternoon and evening of 5 September and on the 6th. We’re told that this was due to the site being the target of an attack from ‘another European country’. It seems that we have touched a nerve somewhere; the truth usually does that.

Social media has been alive with rumours. Who or what was behind this denial of service attack may be the subject of an investigation all of its own – it could result in a criminal case under EU law. Whatever the cause, we are pleased to be back on line and able to comment on matters of concern over the unusual behaviour of senior officials in Cyprus.

It is a good opportunity, too, to thank all those here and abroad who have worked hard in defence of our right to free speech.
