Our site will be in blackout for 24 hours from 1200 UTC Wednesday 18<br>

human rights and freedoms from laws such as the proposed Stop Online<br>
Piracy Act and Protect Intellectual Property Act that is going before<br>
the United States Congress.<br>

APC se une a la campaña de protesta internacional contra la<br>
interferencia ilícita y arbitraria con el acceso a internet que viola<br>
los derechos y las libertades en internet. Nuestro sitio web<br>
(<a href="http://www.apc.org" target="_blank">http://www.apc.org</a>) estará fuera de línea por 24 horas desde las 1200<br>
UTC del miércoles 18 de enero. Creemos que es vital contrarrestar las<br>
amenazas a los derechos humanos y las libertades que presentan leyes<br>
como SOPA y PIPA.<br>
