[pp.int.general] Pirate support for Wikileaks

[Skipbox]

Translated into English:

The international network of the Pirate Parties make their first joint
statement:

We, Pirate Party International, fully support Wikileaks and the people who
run it now the site is in grave danger. We believe that any attempt to stop
the site is an attack on democracy's core values, something we cannot
accept. Only dictatorships would drive such a process and this does not
belong in the democratic world.

We also condemn in this statement, the direct and indirect death threats
formulated by those in government. We also ask all those that are
representatives of an active rule to protect those behind Wikileaks from
abuse.
