"People don't realize how hard it is to speak the truth, to a world full of people that don't realize they're living a lie."

– Edward Snowden

Edward Joseph Snowden is an American-Russian former NSA intelligence contractor and whistleblower who leaked classified documents revealing the existence of global surveillance programs.

Whistleblower on Mass Surveillance – Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor, leaked classified information in 2013, exposing global surveillance programs operated by the U.S. government in collaboration with international allies.

Former Intelligence Operative – Before becoming a whistleblower, Snowden worked for the CIA and later as a contractor for the NSA, where he gained access to classified materials.

Who's next? Who knows...

A recente aprovação da Lei Felca tem gerado uma onda de discussões acaloradas em torno da privacidade de dados e da regulamentação do ambiente digital no Brasil. Esta legislação exige que usuários forneçam informações pessoais, como CPF e dados biométricos, para acessar certos serviços online, gerando preocupações entre especialistas e cidadãos comuns sobre o alcance do controle estatal e a ação das big techs na coleta e uso dessas informações. A figura de Edward Snowden, ex-agente da NSA que vazou informações sobre as práticas de vigilância dos EUA, ressurgiu no debate, servindo como um lembrete sobre os riscos associados à falta de privacidade.(...)

In June 2013, Edward Snowden became a global household name when he disclosed thousands of classified NSA and GCHQ documents revealing unprecedented mass surveillance of citizens by Western intelligence agencies.

Freiheit für Julian Assange!

Tag der Pressefreiheit

Auch wenn die Fahne der Menschenrechtsverletzer vor seiner Botschaft schlaff herunterhängt, noch dürfen wir sie nicht unterschätzen. Noch immer kann der britische High Court die Auslieferung von Julian Assange an die USA bestätigen.

Julian Assange drohen in den USA 175 Jahre Haft für seine journalistische Arbeit, in der er zahlreiche Kriegsverbrechen der USA in Afghanistan, im Irak und im Jemen aufgedeckt hat.

Gerade zum heutigen Tag der Pressefreiheit kamen auch gestern wieder BerlinerInnen am Brandenburger Tor vor der US Botschaft zusammen. Auch Aktion Freiheit statt Angst war mit vielen Flyern dabei. Alle waren gekommen, um seine sofortige Freilassung zu fordern und festzustellen:

"Wir sind alle Julian Assange," denn mit seiner Inhaftierung wird weltweit Druck auf uns alle erzeugt. Die freie Berichterstattung und die Meinungsfreiheit sind dadurch eingeschränkt, denn Jede/r muss sich überlegen, welche möglichen Konsequenzen drohen könnten, wenn man eine Aussage trifft, die dem selbsternannten Hegemon in Washington missfällt.

Auch heute, am Tag der Pressefreiheit selbst wird es, wie jeden Freitag, von 13-18 Uhr wieder eine Mahnwache mit Streetaction und Infostand geben. Nächste Donnerstags-Mahnwache wieder am 16.5., diesmal wegen Sperrungen am Brandenburger Tor vor der Britischen Botschaft, Unter den Linden / Wilhelmstraße.
