She is now trying to move on with +her life without further harassment. + +Wikileaks ex-director ***Julian Assange*** was evicted from the +Ecuadorian embassy in a coordinated move to extradite him to the United +States. In the U.S., he is charged with – unsucessfully – offering +support to Chelsea Manning in accessing computer files. It is obvious +that this indictment does not reflect the full extent of charges the +U.S. will press against Assange in case of a successful extradition. + +Now, Swedish software developer ***Ola Bini*** was arrested by +Ecuadorian police. Initially, [his attorneys were denied access to him, +were not allowed to talk to him nor see +him](https://goatsing.wordpress.com/2019/04/13/press-release-on-the-detention-of-ola-bini-2/). +His house was raided and several devices were confiscated. Bini was held +captive for 2 days, before the Ecuadorian government anounced he was +held for "alleged participation in the crime of assault on the integrity +of computer systems." Apparently, the Ecuadorian government plans to +intimidate and damage Ola in retaliation for recent publications +exposing corruption within the Ecuadorian government. + +We condemn these concerted attacks on journalists, whistleblowers and +their supporters for what they are: Shocking and coordinated violations +of human rights and the freedom of press. + +The Chaos Computer Club demands + +- the immediate release of Chelsea Manning +- the immediate release of Ola Bini +- an immediate stop of any plans to extradite Julian Assange to the + U.S., where he would not face fair trial + +We call for citizens, journalists and European governments to stand in +solidarity. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +**Information and Support:** + +- [Free Ola Bini](https://twitter.com/freeolabini) +- [Support Chelsea Manning](https://xychelsea.is/#support) +- [Wikileaks Defense Fund](https://defend.wikileaks.org/donate/) -- cgit v1.2.3
