Whistleblowers

Preface by Julian Assange Whistleblowers have been making news for ten years. The emblematic cases of Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange give evidence of the methods being used to break whistleblowers’ lives. These women and men have the courage to speak of wrongdoings and malfunctions of our society. However, these heroes have turned into pariahs. Their life is hell. Snowden is a refugee in Russia, Assange lives in a small room in an Embassy, Manning was in jail, Stephanie Gibaud and many others suffer a very precarious situation, are being taken to court and face unlimited trials, abandoned by their countries and administrations. Through her personal experience and concrete examples of whistleblowers in France and abroad, she details the whistleblowers’ lives and the reasons why they are in real danger.
