Wikileaks goes back online

A whistleblower site ordered offline by a Californian court has been reinstated.

The Wikileaks site was banned on 15 February following complaints from Swiss banking group Julius Baer after the site posted documents about its offshore activities.

At the time the judge forced web host Dynadot to pull Wikileaks from its servers and block the domain name to prevent it being transferred to another web-hosting company.

Last week the ruling was reversed after the judge questioned the " effectiveness" of blocking the site. This was after a number of organisations began posting the documents on Julius Baer in protest against the Wikileaks ban.

Material from Wikileaks was also still visible on several of its back-up sites, based in countries such as India and Belgium. It could also be accessed at its numerical address.

The site can now be accessed at its full address.
