Taking a stand in Berlin’s Alexanderplatz are whistleblowers Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.

Activists and members of Germany’s Green party unveiled the life-size bronze statues on Friday.

All are considered heroes on the political left for leaking US intelligence documents.

The man behind the work Italian sculptor Davide Dormino explains that he wanted to “represent three contemporary heroes who have lost their freedom for the truth.” He says that they act as a reminder of “how important it is to know the truth and have the courage to know the truth.”

Entitled Anything to Say the sculpture encourages supporters to stand up for freedom of speech and information.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange faces extradition to Sweden to face investigation into accusations of rape and sexual assault, but fears he will be extradited to the US to face questions over his role in leaking secret US documents. He has taken asylum in Ecuador’s London Embassy. US soldier Chelsea Manning (born Bradley Manning) was convicted in 2013 on charges relating to the Espionage Act for leaking US intelligence and military documents to Wikileaks. She is currently serving a 35 year prison sentence. Edward Snowden is currently evading extradition to the US by taking asylum in Russia. He released classified information from the National Security Agency (NSA) to journalists revealing the scale of the US government’s global surveillance capabilities.

Their statues will have fewer restrictions on their movements with a scheduled world tour.

As much as I dislike the government at times, intelligence operations are incredibly important for security, and whistleblowers should be prosecuted. Especially when they haven't even read half the shit they released.

Fucking traitors.

I don't think Snowden is a traitor. We need more whistleblowers so we can eventually defeat the illuminati.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
I'm okay with Snowden having a statue (I believe the federal government should grant him a pardon) but Assange not so much, and Manning definitely not.

Snowden is a goddamn hero. Assange is a tool and I never cared much for Manning.

Yo Meta, thanks for showing me this dank-ass shit. It's almost as if you made this thread just for me!!

I'll be sure to check this statue out sometime.

And Snowden and Assange are heroes. Manning's just kind of crazy, but they all had good intentions.

I like hugs and making the world a better place. That and guns. Lots and lots of guns.
Snowden did what many others should have already done. I just wish his releases would be more covered by the media. Of course they won't, because the media is a tool of the government, and they don't want to broadcast their own secrets, but it would be nice. I also wish he'd reveal more stuff.

Lol.

Releasing information about the collection of metadata I can get behind, at least then there's a degree of transparency with the NSA and the FISA court. But when you start taking asylum in Russia, don't read half the shit you put out and then let it fall into the hands of terrorists and talk about cyber warfare with China then you're a treasonous scumbag.

The collection of metadata isn't surveillance. It facilitates surveillance, sure, but surveillance is the direct collection of data. If you want to shit on anybody, shit on FISA (and yes, they do deserve to be shit on).

I'd lean more towards incompetent and irresponsible than treasonous. These are, though, legitimate criticisms.
