Germany suspends treason probe against blog after protest storm
Germany's chief prosecutor on Friday suspended a treason probe against Internet security bloggers that had sparked a storm of protest from journalist and politicians. Harald Range said "in view of the great good of freedom of the press and expression" he would let the investigation rest, the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported online. News of the probe against the blog Netzpolitik.org -- Germany's first treason case against media since the 1960s -- had sparked a wave of indignation and expressions of solidarity. http://dlvr.it/Bj9xft
