Since it`s foundation, in 2006, Wikileaks was conceived as a solution for citizens to expose the injustices, political persecutions and the illegal activities of governments. During the recent years, Wikileaks and his visible head Julian Assange, have exposed to the world, the lies, abuses, and Human Rights violations behind the curtains of legality of the regimes of Kenia, Iceland, United States, China, Thailand, India among dozens of countries around the globe. With the disclosure of criminal activites, labeled as classified information, Wikileaks and Julian Assange have contributed to create a more transparent world where citizens are capable of demanding direct accountability about the activities of their governments, and when governments feel the pressure of their citizens, in the aim for creating a future with out criminal, political or corporate institutional secrets.

It has passed a while when we decided to run the initiative of promoting Julian Assange for the Nobel Prize for Peace. In this moment, we have analyzed recent events concerning the manner in which the persecution against Julian Assange and Wikileaks has been conducted. It is very worrisome to find that Julian Assange has [...]

Why Julian Assange should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
Julian Assange is a brave man, not perhaps as brave as men like Bradley Manning, who at the risk of his own safety and being branded a traitor chose to expose the truth that he saw but a brave man nonetheless for sharing that information [...]
Dear Nobel Peace Prize,
I believe that Julian Assange and Wiki leaks have done wonderful work to make my government, all world governments and big corporate business more transparent. I believe that this transparency is essential to peace and to understanding the world we live in. Governments should have a check that holds them accountable [...]
There are many people whose acts of nobility merit consideration for the Nobel Prize. Service to others should always be a primary consideration, as the Prize serves as a sort of beacon for those who recognize that our world needs more care than ever before–care for the planetary ecology, care for each other, and care [...]
Controlling information has become as potent a mechanism of control as military or police force, if not more so. The “secretization” of the workings of government is now a de facto practice worldwide. Mr. Assange and the people of Wikileaks have shown the world — even in the face of our reluctance to know the [...]

I would nominate Julian Assange for a Nobel Peace price because WikiLeaks, the site he co-founded, has thrown a spotlight on the duplicitous practises of our governments, transnational corporations, and NGOs.
Assange’s WikiLeaks has furnished a platform that challenges propaganda and misinformation, and allows people to act on their human (and humane) instincts; it has [...]
In the beginning of everything I asked myself why should Julian Assange do something like that? Need for attention? Need for some court trials? I was observing all actions around WikiLeaks and Julian Assange over months, that topic aroused my interest more and more. I did research and questioned the intentions of a man who [...]
During the recent years the political and legal persecution of Julian Assange, has invaded the diverse mainstream media channels of the world. Many articles have described him in different and despicable terms. Many people have not only condemned him, but even suggested openly, to kill him. It is very difficult to understand the behavior of [...]
