But I have to say it is been weakened by the fact that the inclusion of the amendment on Julian Assange, which is actually the mother of all strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs), did not pass. This is a publisher who bravely published information in the public interest in 2010 – exposing war crimes by the US military – being prosecuted for espionage. The publisher was working in an EU country. The US Government is exerting extraterritorial jurisdiction over journalism conducted in Europe. The intention was not just to silence Assange, it was strategic, to warn all other publishers worldwide of national security reporting about serious challenges to US power. Indeed, the incarceration of Assange has already resulted in that chilling effect, and it is regrettable considering that the European and international federations of journalists recognise this and have called for the case to be dropped. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe recognises it, the UN Human Rights Commissioner recognises it and many others. It is an awful pity that our motion didn’t pass today.</PARA></INTERVENTION><NUMERO ACT="2-116-0000" PRE="2-115-0000" SUIV="2-117-0000" VL="RO" VOD-START="2021-11-11T11:53:40.314" VOD-END="2021-11-11T11:54:49.000"/><INTERVENTION><ORATEUR PP="Renew" LG="RO" MEPID="209140" CODICT="209140" LIB="Vlad | Gheorghe"><LG>RO</LG><EMPHAS NAME="B">Vlad Gheorghe (<PP>Renew</PP>).</EMPHAS></ORATEUR><PARA> – <EMPHAS NAME="I">(începutul intervenției nu a fost făcut la microfon) ... </EMPHAS>acest raport și l-am votat pentru că o comunitate a valorilor europene nu poate exista fără accesul la informație și liberă exprimare. </PARA><PARA>Jurnaliștii, activiștii și ONG-iștii sunt paznici ai democrației.
