Iceland's Supreme Court has ruled that Valitor (formerly Visa
Iceland) must pay WikiLeaks $204,900 per month or $2,494,604 per year in
fines if it continues to blockade the whistle-blowing site.
The court upheld the decision that Valitor had unlawfully
terminated its contract with WikiLeaks' donation processor,
DataCell.
"Today's decision marked the most important victory to date
against the unlawful and arbitrary economic blockade erected by US
companies against WikiLeaks," the organization's press release
stated.
