7The Chaos Computer Club is alarmed by recent internationallly
8coordinated attacks on human rights.
9
10For more than a month now, CCC honorary member ***Chelsea Manning*** has
11been detained in order to press her to testify before a Grand Jury.
12Chelsea Manning has served seven years in military prison before she was
13pardoned by President Barack Obama. She is now trying to move on with
14her life without further harassment.
15
16Wikileaks ex-director ***Julian Assange*** was evicted from the
17Ecuadorian embassy in a coordinated move to extradite him to the United
18States. In the U.S., he is charged with – unsucessfully – offering
19support to Chelsea Manning in accessing computer files. It is obvious
20that this indictment does not reflect the full extent of charges the
21U.S. will press against Assange in case of a successful extradition.
22
23Now, Swedish software developer ***Ola Bini*** was arrested by
24Ecuadorian police. Initially, [his attorneys were denied access to him,
25were not allowed to talk to him nor see
26him](https://goatsing.wordpress.com/2019/04/13/press-release-on-the-detention-of-ola-bini-2/).
27His house was raided and several devices were confiscated. Bini was held
28captive for 2 days, before the Ecuadorian government anounced he was
29held for "alleged participation in the crime of assault on the integrity
30of computer systems." Apparently, the Ecuadorian government plans to
31intimidate and damage Ola in retaliation for recent publications
32exposing corruption within the Ecuadorian government.
33
34We condemn these concerted attacks on journalists, whistleblowers and
35their supporters for what they are: Shocking and coordinated violations
36of human rights and the freedom of press.
37
38The Chaos Computer Club demands
39
40- the immediate release of Chelsea Manning
41- the immediate release of Ola Bini
42- an immediate stop of any plans to extradite Julian Assange to the
43 U.S., where he would not face fair trial
44
45We call for citizens, journalists and European governments to stand in
46solidarity.
