Public meeting in support of WikiLeaks and Julian Assange - London, 07/02/2011

 

As WikiLeaks' editor-in-chief Julian Assange fights against legal attempts this week by the Swedish prosecutor to have him extradited to Sweden from where there is a very real fear by many that he will be illegally 'rendered' to the United States where there have been many open, public calls by politicians and pundits for him to be executed or even just murdered on the street without trial, there was a public meeting in support of Assange and WikiLeaks organised by the Stop The War Coalition.

 

In front of a packed audience of 300 enthusiastic supporters in London's Conway Hall, the speakers were peace activist Jemima Khan, convenor of Stop The War Lindsey German , president of Stop The War Tony Benn and veteran peace activist and historian Tariq Ali, all of whom had attended Assange's first trial day at Belmarsh Magistrate's Court. Assange's legal proceedings have been moved to Belmarsh specifically to make it much more difficult and inconvenient for his supporters to gather and protest.

The Best of Cablegate: Instances Where Public Discourse Benefited from the Leaks by Rainey Reitman

Description of event

 

www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=178950392136750

 

"Since its release of about 2000 diplomatic cables (as of January 7th, 2011), Wikileaks has been subject to extraordinary pressures, seemingly at the behest of the US government. Amazon and EveryDNS have denied Wikileaks internet service and Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, and Bank of America have been prevented supporters from donating money to Wikileaks. This is despite the fact that Wikileaks has not even been charged with a crime.

 

Unfortunately, the situation has gotten even worse. The press has been spreading lies about Wikileaks. Mainstream media outlets do not appear to be doing even the most rudimentary fact-checking. The most blatant of these lies is the idea that Wikileaks has “indiscriminately dumped 250,000 cables on the internet”. This is flat-out false.

 

A few news organizations, including NPR and InformationWeek, have corrected this mistake, and NPR has even offered an apology. By contrast, most news organizations ranging from the AP to the Wall Street Journal continue to print this falsehood.

 

We call upon all news organizations to correct previous articles and statements, to issue apologies to their readers, and to take steps to prevent this mistake from occurring in any future articles and shows.

 

We will be protesting outside the TransAmerica pyramid, across from a San Francisco office of the New York Times, on Saturday, January 15th, at 4pm. On that day, we will be joining in protesting against the repression of Wikileaks with many others around the world, including Washington, DC, and several cities in Canada and Australia.

 

To counter the New York Times’s censorship of reality, we plan to publish the released cables on the walls of their building. In addition, participants will be provided cable printouts and markers and encouraged to throw down their artistic abilities by adding a graphic representation of their favorite cable to the Cablegate Coloring Book.

Crowd jubilant as Ecuador grants Julian Assange political asylum - 16.08.2012

 

A large crowd of supporters of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and US soldier Bradley Manning descended on the Ecuador embassy on 16.08.2012 to wait for news of a decision by the Ecuadorean government on Assange's application for political asylum.

 

At 1:30pm word came through embassy oficials that the government in Quito had granted asylum to Assange on humanitarian grounds. Despite cheering and applause from the crowd, it was widely accepted that Assange's problems are far from over, and this might just be a pyrrhic victory.

Bradley Manning is a hero to many here and around the world for recoiling at the wanton killing of civilians he discovered while analyzing files in Baghdad. To the US government, which has prosecuted only a few low-level soldiers for those crimes, Bradley - who has spent 3 years in prison before trial - is the criminal, and we, the people he wanted to be informed with the true story of the wars, are the "enemy."

Sin da quando Wikileaks ha catturato i titoli e l’immaginazione dei giornalisti di tutto il mondo con il suo video scioccante Collateral Murder (Assassinio Collaterale), enormi leak di dati, spesso ottenuti con l’hacking, sono diventati sempre più comuni. Negli ultimi anni, abbiamo visto notizie di rilevanza e portata mondiale provenienti da hacking e leak: l’hacking ai danni della Sony, la violazione dell’Hacking Team, e ovviamente l’hacking ai danni del Democratic National Committee (DNC), fra gli altri. Come giornalisti, abbiamo il dovere di analizzare i dati e i documenti a prescindere dalla loro origine. Ma ora che i governi iniziano a sfruttare la sete dei giornalisti per i leak, come dovrebbero approcciare questi dati e queste fonti i reporter? Questa discussione porterà il pubblico attraverso un veloce riassunto dell’aumento dei leak, con alcuni esempi rimarchevoli e il modo in cui sono stati gestiti, e una riflessione personale su cosa i giornalisti hanno fatto in modo corretto e cosa no, nel tentativo di capire meglio come trattare eventi come questi in futuro.

 

Ever since Wikileaks captured the headlines and the imagination of journalists all over the world with its shocking Collateral Murder video, large leaks of data, often obtained through hacking, have become more and more common. Just in the last few years, we’ve seen major world-shaping news events coming out of hacks and leaks: the Sony hack, the Hacking Team breach, and of course the DNC hack, among others. As journalists, we have a duty to look into data and documents regardless of its origin. But now that governments are starting to take advantage of journalists’ thirst for leaks, how should reporters approach this data and sources? This talk will take the audience through a quick history of the rise of leaking, a few notable examples and how they were handled, and a personal reflection on what journalists got right – and what they got wrong – in an attempt to better understand how to deal with events like these in the future.

WikiLeaks Julian Assange and the Ecuador embassy dispute 19AUG12

Julian Paul Assange,born 3 July 1971) is an Australian journalist,publisher and Internet activist. He is best known as the spokesperson and editor in chief for WikiLeaks, a whistleblower website. Before working with the website, he was a computer programmer. He has lived in several countries, and has made occasional public appearances to speak about freedom of the press, censorship, and investigative journalism.

Assange founded the controversial WikiLeaks website in 2006 and serves on its advisory board. In this award-winning capacity, he has been involved in publishing material about extrajudicial killings in Kenya, toxic waste dumping in Africa, Church of Scientology manuals, Guantanamo Bay procedures, and banks such as Kaupthing and Julius Baer. In 2010, he published classified details about United States involvement in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Then, on 28 November 2010, WikiLeaks and its five media partners began publishing secret U.S. diplomatic cables.

On 30 November 2010, at the request of the International Public Prosecution Office in Gothenburg, Sweden,Interpol placed Assange on its red notice list of wanted persons; he was wanted for questioning about alleged sexual offenses, and voluntarily submitted to the London Metropolitan Police on 7 December 2010.Assange denies the accusations made against him.
