Leak Hypocrisy: A Conversation on Whistleblowers, Sources, and the Label "Espionage"

Presented at The Eleventh HOPE (2016), July 23, 2016, 11 a.m. (60 minutes).

The two-tiered injustice system: high-level officials who leak for political gain get cover; those blowing the whistle on crimes and abuse face decades in prison. The problem is urgent, costing daily the liberty of Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, and many whistleblowers, as well as the liberty of Julian Assange, a publisher. In this critical moment, join two leading lawyers and the Courage Foundation for a conversation on attacks on freedom of expression, the failure of internal oversight mechanisms, the serious need for a "public interest" defense for truth tellers, and the promise of a growing international movement to promote and protect them.

Presenters:

• Naomi Colvin
  Naomi Colvin is a campaigner for the Courage Foundation, an international organization that supports individuals who risk life or liberty to make significant contributions to the historical record.
• Jesselyn Radack
  Jesselyn Radack is an attorney and director of the Whistleblower and Source Protection Program (WHISPeR) at ExposeFacts. She is a former Justice Department whistleblower, representing Edward Snowden, Thomas Drake, and numerous drone pilot whistleblowers.
• Carey Shenkman
  Carey Shenkman is a First Amendment and human rights attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights representing journalists, including Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.
