In 2005 (11-14 June) a Virtual Sit-In of the Fraport propaganda web site took place. This online protest aimed at the expansion plans for Frankfurt airport (Germany) by the airport operating company Fraport. Demonstrations on the area of the Fraport company were not allowed and it was consequent to start a virtual demonstration. The protest was announced in solidarity with the Libertad! campaign who had launched an online demonstration against Lufthansa and their deportation practice four years ago. One of the Libertad! campaigners was held responsible for organising the Lufthansa demonstration and faced a trial before court on 14 June 2005.

Comparable to this former online demonstration, everyone could take part in the virtual sitin at Fraport by just one mouse click. The organisers of this protest used the virtual sitin script of the Electrohippies (from UK) and the protest web page was hosted at a several public providers (Yahoo, Angelfire, Topcities).
