Save Wikileaks
Friday, 29th January 2010
It's possibly the most important whistleblowing site in the world, but Wikileaks has suspended activity due to lack of funds.
Azeem Azhar of Viewsflow has aleady set up a Facebook group to raise support for the site, which won the Economist 2008 Freedom of Expression Award and Amnesty International's 2009 New Media Award.
The site has been a crucial source for journalists around the world and was central to the Trafigura story and the fight to have a superinjunction lifted to report toxic waste-dumping in Cote d'Ivoire by the Swiss-based company. In my own case, it helped publicise the activities of Iraqi-British billionaire Nadhmi Auchi.
As the UK libel laws continue to bite, Wikileaks remains one of the few places to defend genuine freedom of speech.
I know money is tight, but I urge anyone who cares about liberty to visit the site and donate.
