This week, government agents broke into his house in London, where he lives in exile, stole his computers, and left pictures of his children as a warning.<br />I sent him this message yesterday: “Alek: If you need anything, please make sure to let me know. I will do all in my power to make sure this does not go unnoticed. This is scandalous.”<br />He responded: “Dear Nate: Thanks for the support, mate. Further to the break into my flat on Monday, this morning I found four printouts of recent photographs of my children and myself, presumably taken from quite a distance, going about our business in Central London. The printouts were left inside the pocket of one of my coats, in my bedroom. This new development leads me to believe that it weren’t the laptops they were after, that was just a bonus. I take those pictures as an open threat, to my children and myself. I take those pictures as a form of terrorism. The message is clear: whoever is behind this wants me to know that my family can be harmed at their wish….. I think I have a good idea of who is behind this. London’s Metropolitan Police has been informed.”</i> <br /><br />Note what has been written about Aleck Boyd's children,<br />Boludo Tejanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-7665325225307010782014-11-21T16:15:12.484+01:002014-11-21T16:15:12.484+01:00spam seems more active these days.... spam seems more active these days....

You need to download one of these tools to your computer. I personally use Tunnel Bear more by habit than by its qualities. At home I use another one which an actual browser for such pages that you need to download and install.

I cannot access the link you are referring to about Boyd's pictures. It is not mentioned in Infodio. Caracas Chronicle has the same problem, they assume their readers live outside the country.
