[liberationtech] SUCCESS but await public statement

[Sana Saleem]

Thank you Katrin,

We will continue the campaign unless we've a public statement and even
after the statement confirms.
Too early to celebrate but excited. The second phase of our campaign will
be to push for e-crime legislation since government likely to be sneaky
about this and pursue covert censorship.  Still looking for letters from
student unions, academics and economists to keep the pressure up.
