Defender a Wikileaks é defender a liberdade de informação e de expressão - boicotemos a Amazon




http://www.facebook.com/wikileaks


WikiLeaks é o primeiro movimento Samizdat global contra o poder à escala mundial . Recorde-se que o Samizdat foi a prática usada pelos dissidentes do regime soviético para reproduzir e fazer circular a literatura e as publicações clandestinas.

Movimento pelo boicote à Amazon pelo facto desta ter decidido eliminar a Wikileaks do seu servidor:
www.facebook.com/pages/Boycott-Amazon-for-Dumping-Wikileaks/174975139187861?ref=mf&v=wall
Note-se que a decisão da Amazon é tanto mais escandalosa quanto é sabido que se trata de uma empresa que se dedica ao negócio dos livros e afins o que a devia levar a defender, mais do que ninguèm, como seu ponto de honra, e sempre no plano dos princípios orientadores da sua actividade, a liberdade de informação e de expressão.

WikiLeaks is a not-for-profit media organisation. Our goal is to bring important news and information to the public. We provide an innovative, secure and anonymous way for sources to leak information to our journalists (our electronic drop box). One of our most important activities is to publish original source material alongside our news stories so readers and historians alike can see evidence of the truth. We are a young organisation that has grown very quickly, relying on a network of dedicated volunteers around the globe. Since 2007, when the organisation was officially launched, WikiLeaks has worked to report on and publish important information. We also develop and adapt technologies to support these activities.

WikiLeaks has sustained and triumphed against legal and political attacks designed to silence our publishing organisation, our journalists and our anonymous sources. The broader principles on which our work is based are the defence of freedom of speech and media publishing, the improvement of our common historical record and the support of the rights of all people to create new history. We derive these principles from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In particular, Article 19 inspires the work of our journalists and other volunteers. It states that everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. We agree, and we seek to uphold this and the other Articles of the Declaration.

WikiLeaks is the winner of:

■the 2008 Economist Index on Censorship Freedom of Expression award
■the 2009 Amnesty International human rights reporting award (New Media)


WikiLeaks has a history breaking major stories in major media outlets and robustly protecting sources and press freedoms. We have never revealed a source. We do not censor material. Since formation in 2007, WikiLeaks has been victorious over every legal (and illegal) attack, including those from the Pentagon, the Chinese Public Security Bureau, the Former president of Kenya, the Premier of Bermuda, Scientology, the Catholic & Mormon Church, the largest Swiss private bank, and Russian companies. WikiLeaks has released more classified intelligence documents than the rest of the world press combined.
