תל-אביב, 12 לאוגוסט - היום הגשנו את מועמדותו של מר ג'וליאן אסאנג' לפרס עיתונאות החוץ במסגרת פרסי העיתונאות הבריטית לשנת 2019 מטעם הפרס-גאזט.
המועמדות מציינת שלושה פרסומים להם היה מר אסאנג' שותף בתקופת הפרס (ספטמבר 2018-אוגוסט 2019):
1) בקשה מקדמית למחיקת התביעה האזרחית בתיק מטה המפלגה הדמוקרטית נ טראמפ ואח' (1:18-cv-03501) בבית המשפט הפדרלי, המחוז הדרומי של ניו-יורק, ארה"ב. בתיק זה נרשמו ויקיליקס ואסאנג' כנתבעים בגין פשיעה מאורגנת. הבקשה הביאה להחלטה מיום 30 ליולי, 2019, למחיקת התביעה. ההחלטה קובעת שפרסום הדלפות מטה המפלגה הדמוקרטית היתה פעולה המוגנת תחת התיקון הראשון לחוקה - חופש העיתונות. בכך היתה הבקשה תרומה חשובה לעיתונות חופשית, לזכויות האדם, לסדרי המשטר הדמוקרטי, ולתרבות המערבית. הליך זה יצר פרסומים עיתונאיים משניים ברחבי העולם.
2) פרסום מספטמבר 2018 - "שחיתות בעסקאות נשק עם אמירויות המפרץ" - חשף את השחיתות מאחורי עסקאות הנשק הענקיות של צרפת וגרמניה עם איחוד האמירויות, שסיפקו את הנשק המשמש עתה למלחמה שיש בה השמדת עם בתימן.
3) פרסום מאפריל 2019 - "אסאנג' הוא קרבן למערכת ריגול אינטנסיבית" - עניינו רדיפתו של אסאנג' הנמשכת עד היום.
מר אסאנג' הפך לדמות היסטורית, והוא גיבור זכויות האדם של דורנו. מר אסאנג' שתרם רבות לצורת החשיבה ותפיסת העולם של אנשים בבריטניה וברחבי העולם, במיוחד - ביחס לטבעם של המשטרים בארה"ב ובבריטניה, זכויות האדם וחופש העיתונות ב"דמוקרטיות המערביות" היום.
בעולם הנתון ב"עידן הפוסט-אמת" ו"פייק ניוז", עבודתו של מר אסאנג' מצטיינת בדבקותה באמת. חזונו המוצהר של מר אסאנג' ברור: "אם השקר משמש לפתיחה במלחמה, אזי האמת מקדמת את השלום." אנשים בעלי כוונות טובות ברחבי העולם מאוחדים בקריאתם לשחרורו המידי של מר ג'וליאן אסאנג' ולהפסקת רדיפתו!
מסמכים של Human Rights Alert NGO נכללו לראשונה בארכיונים של ויקיליקס בשנת 2010, ואוסף מסמכים נוספים נכלל באקראי בהדלפת הדוא"ל של פודסטה ממטה המפלגה הדמוקרטית בשנת 2016.
להלן כתב המועמדות באנגלית.

The judges are looking for work which shows journalistic skill and rigour, is revelatory and which serves the public interest.
For print/online entries, please provide up to three examples of work. Broadcasters can submit up to three clips or one entire programme in support of their entry. A supporting statement of up 500 words must also be included.
Collaborative entries are accepted. Work should have been published between 1 September 2018 and 30 September 2019 and aimed at a UK audience.
Examples of print/online/video work
1. Corruption in UAE arms deal, Wikileaks Sep 28, 2018
2. WikiLeaks say founder Julian Assange is victim of 'extensive spying operation', Wikileaks April 10, 2019
3. Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, by Defendant Wikileaks in DNC v Russian Federaion et al (1:18-cv-03501), Docket #224, PACER, March 04, 2019
Supporting statement
Julian Assange again made a unique contribution to world journalism and world civilization during the award period. Such contribution is evidenced in his collaborative work with Wikileaks which he founded, in statements which he made though others from his arbitrary detention in the Ecuador Embassy in London and from the London jail, in court filings in the UK and the US through counsel, and in news publications about him, relative to his fate as a persecuted journalist.
All of the above should be considered part of Mr Assange’s collaborative journalistic work.
In particular:
1) Wikileaks and Assange March 04, 2019 filing - Motion to Dismiss in DNC v Russian Federation et al (1:18-cv-03501) is a unique journalistic achievement. [1] It led to the July 30, 2019 dismissal with prejudice by US federal court of the DNC racketeering lawsuit, where Wikileaks and Assange were named defendants. The ruling, stating that the publication of DNC leaks was protected by the First Amendment – Freedom of the Press – was a major contribution to journalism, human rights, and Western civilization. It generated additional news reports worldwide.
Additional examples of notable work include:
2) Wikileaks September 2018 publication - “Corruption in UAE arms deal”, [2] shedding light on the corruption behind a lucrative French/German arms deal with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), weapons that are currently being used to wage a disastrous and genocidal war against the people of Yemen;
3) Wikileaks April 2019 publication - “WikiLeaks say founder Julian Assange is victim of 'extensive spying operation'”, [3] pertaining to Mr Assange’s ongoing persecution.
By now, Mr Assange is a figure of historic proportions, human rights hero of our generation, one who contributed immensely to the ways people in the UK and worldwide think and perceive the world, in particular – the nature of the regimes in the US and the UK, human rights and freedom of the press in “western democracies”.
The above three examples of publications during the award period generated numerous secondary publications worldwide.
In a world immersed in the “Post-truth Era” and “Fake News”, Mr Assange’s work is characterized by adherence to the Truth.
Mr Assange’s stated goal is clear: “If war can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth.”
People of good faith worldwide join the call for the immediate release of Mr Julian Assange and an immediate end to his persecution!

24. HRA-NGO highlighted the serious deterioration in integrity of law and justice agencies as a consequence of the implementation of e-government systems. It affirmed that the validity and integrity of any legal and judicial records of Israel should be deemed dubious at best.Such research has been presented and published in international academic conferences, including Data Mining (2010), Criminology (2012), E-government (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018), Cyber and Law (2018), Global Security (2019), and closed discussion panels in the Israeli Democracy Institute re: “Cyber Authority Bill” and “Fake Election”.

Data mining of government records - particularly records of the justice system (i.e., courts, prisons) - enables the discovery of systemic human rights violations in connection to generation and publication of invalid or fraudulent legal records by various government agencies.HRA-NGO’s work has been acclaimed by notable legal and computing experts.
HRA-NGO papers were first filed with Wikileaks in 2010, and in 2016 additional 19 papers were inadvertently incorporated in the Wikileaks Podesta files.
