Reporters Without Borders condemns the blocking, cyber-attacks and political
pressure being directed at cablegate.wikileaks.org, the website dedicated
to the US diplomatic cables. The organization is also concerned by some of
the extreme comments made by American authorities concerning WikiLeaks and
its founder Julian Assange.
Earlier this week, after the publishing several hundred of the 250.000
cables it says it has in its possession, WikiLeaks had to move its site from
its servers in Sweden to servers in the United States controlled by online
retailer Amazon. Amazon quickly came under pressure to stop hosting
WikiLeaks from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and its chairman,
Sen. Joe Lieberman, in particular.
After being ousted from Amazon, WikiLeaks found a refuge for part of its
content with the French Internet company OVH. But French digital economy
minister Eric Besson today said the French government was looking at ways to
ban hosting of the site. WikiLeaks was also recently dropped by its domain
name provider EveryDNS. Meanwhile, several countries well known for for
their disregard of freedom of expression and information, including Thailand
and China, have blocked access to cablegate.wikileaks.org.
This is the first time we have seen an attempt at the international
community level to censor a website dedicated to the principle of
transparency. We are shocked to find countries such as France and the United
States suddenly bringing their policies on freedom of expression into line
with those of China. We point out that in France and the United States, it
is up to the courts, not politicians, to decide whether or not a website
should be closed.
Meanwhile, two Republican senators, John Ensign and Scott Brown, and an
independent Lieberman, have introduced a bill that would make it illegal to
publish the names of U.S. military and intelligence agency informants. This
could facilitate future prosecutions against WikiLeaks and its founder. But
a criminal investigation is already under way and many U.S. politicians are
calling vociferously for Assange’s arrest.
Reporters Without Borders can only condemn this determination to hound
Assange and reiterates its conviction that WikiLeaks has a right under the U
.S. Constitution’s First Amendment to publish these documents and is even
playing a useful role by making them available to journalists and the
greater public.
We stress that any restriction on the freedom to disseminate this body of
documents will affect the entire press, which has given detailed coverage to
the information made available by WikiLeaks, with five leading
international newspapers actively cooperating in preparing it for
publication.
Reporters Without Borders would also like to stress that it has always
defended online freedom and the principle of “Net neutrality,” according
to which Internet Service Providers and hosting companies should play no
role in choosing the content that is placed online |
