TSN proudly joins a global coalition standing behind artist ODEE & whistleblower Jóhannes Stefánsson in their fight against powerful forces trying to silence them.
After Jóhannes exposed corruption in the #Fishrot scandal, ODEE created powerful art to bring the story to light. Now, instead of facing the truth, the company is targeting him with legal threats.
Read the full open letter below.
RELEASE: #DDoSecrets has published the #Fishrot files https://ddosecrets.org/wiki/Fishrot_Files
Approximately 75,000 files and emails from Samherji, exposing corruption in the fishing industry in a scandal extending from Iceland to Namibia, Norway and beyond. Since 2019, the Fishrot Files have kicked off a series of investigations and trials that are continuing into 2023.
The emails, reports, documents, presentations and photos dating between 2010 and 2016 expose Samherji's use of bribery and false promises to control the fishing industry, with company operations in Canada, the Faroe Islands, France, Iceland, Germany, Namibia, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and the U.K. The dataset is more than twice the size of what was previously released by #WikiLeaks.
In 2020 Namibian authorities identified suspects following a break-in at Cyril Ramaphosa’s farm, but sources allege SA intelligence back-channels were used to get the Namibians to let the matter go. Now Arthur Fraser’s criminal complaint puts the President on the spot: what did he do, what did he know and why the cover-up?
WikiLeaks #fishrot whistleblower Mr Stefansson wins the prestigious WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award 2021. This years award is recognising individuals and organisations that fight corruption.
One year since @[email protected] published over 30000 #Fishrot documents! Very big thanks to @[email protected] and #wikileaks for the very good, professional and brave work on the Fishrot stories!
