The award is granted for mass media people who put at risk their lives to inform dangerous news.
As for Miguel Urbán, who is a Euro Deputy of the local Podemos Party, “it is not any simple award; it is a prize that should be not part of our political group in order it could be for all the European Parliament, besides, Assange´s work has been called as the legislation of scandals, information leaks. We have had four commissions thanks to the work of related suppliers, journalists and the recommendations have been released like the fiscal evasion as a result of the commissions, we would have not probably had a work without his work and his information leaks.”
Miguel Urbán has added: “protecting those denouncing is like protecting the democracy and the right for information and that is why it is serious what we see and what happened in the Ecuadorean embassy in London. Part of the European democracy was detained and taken away.” He pointed out.
More details about the accusation against Assange
It´s been a week ago that the US. Officials made public an affidavit about that case against the founder of WikiLeaks that is facing “conspiracy charges to commit computing intrusion” in the United States.
The district attorneys estimate that Assange worked with Chelsea Manning, then named as Bradley, carrying out the hacking to gain access into a classified military network of the Pentagon and the leaked documents in 2010 by a crime for which it was requested the main sentence of five-year imprisonment.
That text includes 26 pages that includes a sworn testimony by the special agent Megan Brown from the FBI that was carried out in December 2017 where she declared: “It remains unknown if Manning and Asssange could decipher the password of the Defense Department.
According to RT, it is a database with around 90.000 reports about US military activities in Afghanistan and some 400.000 reports linked to the Iraq war and 800 detained in the illegal naval station in Guantánamo province and nearly 250.000 confidential cables of the US State Department.
After its detention, the founder of WikiLeaks is at the high-security imprison in the south of London.
