I’m often speaking about censorship in China mainland, but don’t forget that it also happens in the most beautiful self-proclaimed "democracy", namely, the U.S.
Frightening…
The transparency group WikiLeaks.org currently seems to be under heavy fire. The main WikiLeaks.org DNS entry is unavailable, reportedly due to a restraining order relating to a series of articles and documents released by WikiLeaks about off-shore trust structures in the Cayman Islands. The WikiLeaks whistle blower, allegedly former vice president of the Cayman Islands branch of swiss bank Julius Baer, states in the WikiLeaks documents that the bank supported tax evasion and money laundering by its clients from around the world. WikiLeaks alternate names remained available until Saturday, when there seems to have been a heavy DDoS attack and a fire at the ISP. The documents in question are still available on other WikiLeaks sites, such as wikileaks.be, and are also mirrored on Cryptome. Details of the court documents have also been made available.
The detailed story is here:

Concerning China, don’t worry, WikiLeaks is obviously censored since a longtime…
Here is what you can learn on Wikipedia (prohibited in China as well!):
The Chinese government currently attempts to censor every web site with "wikileaks" in the URL. This includes the main wikileaks.org, wikileaks.cn and wikileaks.org.uk. However the site can be accessed from behind the Chinese firewall at the time of writing using https://secure.wikileaks.org/ or one of the many alternative names used by the project, such as ljsf.org or sunshinepress.org. As these alternatives may change frequently, the site suggests users from the mainland of China search for "wikileaks cover names" on non mainland-china search engines such as google.co.uk to locate the latest alternative names. Mainland based search engines, including those of Baidu and Yahoo, also censor references to "wikileaks."
维基揭密(WikiLeaks)对开曼群岛
我常常写关于检查制度发生在中国大陆,但是别忘记了也有在最漂亮的自己宣告的“民主政治“,即,美国!
恐吓地。。。
美国一名法官下令关闭一家检举揭密网站。在此之前,开曼群岛的一家银行发现这个网站上发布了一些宣称这家银行参与洗钱和逃税的文件。
这个名叫WikiLeaks(维基揭密)的网站被下令关闭、删除所有在线资料并封锁域名防止再次被使用。这家网站属于总部设在美国的公司
Dynadots,这是由中国异议人士创办的公司,目的是让威权国家的检举者在网上匿名发布敏感文件。 WikiLeaks的DNS进入是难以获得的。。。关心的文件还在别的
WikiLeaks的网站,例如wikileaks.be或者Cryptome。
详细的故事在这里:

只有英文。。。因为我没有找到中文的。。。
关于中国,别担心,从很久时间WikiLeaks是禁止。。。
在Wikipedia(也是禁止在中国大陆),你可以学这个:
中国政府尝试检查每个网站哪里有“wikileaks“在URL里面。所以,包括wikileaks.org,wikileaks.cn和wikileaks.org.uk。然而可以到达这个网站通过替代的名字,例如ljsf.org或者sunshinepress.org。 但是那些名字常常改变因为中国政府禁止它们。所以,你只需要找“wikileaks cover names"在Google(但是别用中国的Google,因为他们检查这个。。。比如,用google.co.uk)。百度和Yahoo也检查提及关于“wikileaks"。
