The Wikimedia Foundation said that  one its directors of the site has been subjected to threats uttered against him by French interior secret service agents.

The reason for the nervousness of French power,  is a  page published on Wikipedia, which contains information on a military  telecommunication station:  The Military radio station Pierre-sur-Haute.

It accuses the non-profit organization, which is based in the United States and has the servers that host Wikipedia, the DCRI had contacted in March to remove the page on the military radio station in the Puy-de Dome  area dedicated to joint communications.

In fact, the wikipedia page wyhich has published since 2009, has described the French secret station, which could be used as part of the French nuclear deterrent force, with a description of its infrastructure, its Implementation and access its surface installations and basement.

For its part, the French Ministry of the Interior said that the approach is legal since its DCRI 'threats', focused on the use of a legal complaint against Wikipedia to remove an article that posed a "national security problem "
