Stöd Snowden

Dear network members, Please find attached the information about an initiative that will be launched next week in Berlin. It will support Edward Snowden politically and financially. For this purpose a foundation has been set up, which is currently being led by Sarah Harrison. She belongs to the group of young people affected by the NSA/GHCQ activities who do not dare to return to their home countries and now continue their political work from Berlin. In the future, the foundation also plans to assist other pursued whistleblowers and journalists. From my point of view, they deserve any support. My request to you as members and colleagues of the International Whistleblowing Research Network: please forward the invitation / information to appropriate individuals, organizations and press contacts. Edward Snowden needs a chance to obtain a safe haven in an EU country. Our civil society should clearly and audibly stand up for that. Thanks and best whishes Annegret Falter/http://freesnowden.is
