We are artists. We stand with Julian Assange.

Assange invented, founded and implemented WikiLeaks, a safe web-platform for whistleblowers.

Whistleblowers are revealing important truths and informing us all. WikiLeaks is Our Power.

We can all be whistleblowers- if we witness something that needs to be known.

Whistleblowers are protected under the constitutions of many countries including the US.

It is absolutely wrong that Julian Assange is persecuted since years. This happens for the purpose to stop WikiLeaks and to frighten whistleblowers, journalists, publishers and the rest of us who wish to speak openly.

We call all artists, art professionals and art admirers to unite and sign this petition to demand freedom and respect of human rights for Julian Assange.

Do not extradite him. Do not persecute him. Release him from prison.
