No reason provided for reverting edit by 2601:19e:8380:b570:f5f6:db10:ede2:d73d and "supposed misinformation" reads as if the court order is being questioned without the source backing it up. (Also the current events page is probably not the best place to challenge the validity of the order/claims)). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.
