In response to recent attempts to censor Wikileaks and increasingly worrying calls for violence against Julian Assange, an Australian citizen, Pirate Party Australia has joined Pirate Parties worldwide in mirroring Wikileaks. Participating pirate parties include the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, Romania, Russia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
This has been done to safeguard the freedom of the press and expression and to protest the lack of condemnation of the increasingly shrill calls for violence against Assange.
