Konrad Wolf Prize 2023 goes to Julian Assange

https://www.adk.de/de/news/?we_objectID=65558

The jury said “Through #JulianAssange's work and attitude, we have learned about illegal state activities, about injustice, murders and war crimes, activities that had been concealed from the public and had kept us citizens in the dark. Julian Assange's work is #journalistic #education at its finest. Changing the world #democratically, it needs it. #Journalists, #publicists and #whistleblowers must be #protected, as they perform an essential service to #society."

Julian Assange and the War Against You

https://brownstone.org/articles/julian-assange-and-the-war-against-you/

“Assange is not persecuted for his own crimes, but for the crimes of the powerful,” writes #NilsMelzer, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture and author of #The-Trial-of-Julian-Assange. “The persecution of Assange establishes a precedent that will not only allow the powerful to keep their crimes #secret but will even make the revelation of such crimes punishable by #law. Let us not fool ourselves: once telling the #truth has become a #crime, we will all be living in #tyranny.”

The #Biden administration looks to jail #Assange for life because he #exposed #international #crimes and #corruption to the public for free.
