PRESS RELEASE FROM S11.ORG

The sporting goods monolith Nike's website nike.com
was redirected to Melbourne anti-globalisation website
s11.org late yesterday for a period of up to 19 hours.
The site received over a quarter of a million hits in
the first six hours. The website administrators do not
know how this was done or why.

s11.org is a website dedicated to grassroots
organisation preparing to shutdown the World Economic
Forum meeting at Melbourne's Crown Casino in
September. We suspect Nike may have been targetted for
their highly publicised employment practices, which
have gained extra attention in Melbourne of late with
the recent court case against them.

The s11.org website has detailed information about the
wrongdoings of the WEF and its members. Extra
information has been added about Nike since the
reroute.
