The Grandma is too old to participate in the protests, although she has a young heart, and she is proud of young people who is fighting every night to denounce this dictatorial power that only offers repression, prison and submission.
We are free citizens not slaves or serves from a corrupt political system and a corrupt head of state, and we must continue fighting to finish with this dictatorship.
On a day like today in 2010, WikiLeaks published the first of hundreds of thousands of classified documents disclosed by the soldier now known as Chelsea Manning.
It was in another state, in another continent but the objective was the same -transparency and fight against corrupt systems.

WikiLeaks is an international non-profit organization that publishes news leaks and classified media provided by anonymous sources.
Its website, initiated in 2006 in Iceland by the organization Sunshine Press, claimed in 2015 to have released online 10 million documents in its first 10 years.
Julian Assange, an Australian Internet activist, is generally described as its founder and director. Since September 2018, Kristinn Hrafnsson has served as its editor-in-chief. WikiLeaks is not affiliated with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation.
The group has released a number of prominent document caches. Early releases included documentation of equipment expenditures and holdings in the Afghanistan war, a report about a corruption investigation in Kenya, and an operating procedures manual for the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
In April 2010, WikiLeaks released the Collateral Murder footage from the 12 July 2007 Baghdad airstrike in which Iraqi Reuters journalists were among those killed. Other releases in 2010 included the Afghan War Diary and the Iraq War Logs. The latter release allowed the mapping of 109,032 deaths in significant attacks by insurgents in Iraq that had been reported to Multi-National Force-Iraq, including about 15,000 that had not been previously published.
In 2010, WikiLeaks also released the US State Department diplomatic cables, classified cables that had been sent to the US State Department.
In April 2011, WikiLeaks began publishing 779 secret files relating to prisoners detained in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.
In 2012, WikiLeaks released the Syria Files, over two million emails sent by Syrian politicians, corporations and government ministries.
In 2015, WikiLeaks published Saudi Arabian diplomatic cables, documents detailing spying by the U.S. National Security Agency on successive French Presidents, and the intellectual property chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a controversial international trade agreement which had been negotiated in secret.

During the 2016 US presidential election campaign, WikiLeaks released emails and other documents from the Democratic National Committee and from Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, John Podesta showing that the party's national committee favoured Hillary Clinton over her rival Bernie Sanders in the primaries. These releases caused significant harm to the Clinton campaign, and have been attributed as a potential contributing factor to her loss. The U.S. intelligence community expressed high confidence that the leaked emails had been hacked by Russia and supplied to WikiLeaks. Wikileaks said that the source of the documents was not Russia or any other state. During the campaign, WikiLeaks promoted conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.
In 2016, WikiLeaks released nearly 300,000 emails it described as coming from Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party, later found to be taken from public mailing archives, and over 50,000 emails from the Turkish minister of energy.
In 2017, WikiLeaks published internal CIA documents describing tools used by the agency to hack devices including mobile phones and routers.
WikiLeaks has drawn criticism for its absence of whistleblowing on or criticism of Russia, and for criticizing the Panama Papers' exposé of businesses and individuals with offshore bank accounts. The organization has additionally been criticized for inadequately curating its content and violating the personal privacy of individuals.
WikiLeaks has, for instance, revealed Social Security numbers, medical information, credit card numbers and details of suicide attempts.
The wikileaks.org domain name was registered on 4 October 2006. The website was established and published its first document in December 2006.
WikiLeaks is usually represented in public by Julian Assange, who has been described as the heart and soul of this organization, its founder, philosopher, spokesperson, original coder, organizer, financier, and all the rest. Daniel Domscheit-Berg, Sarah Harrison, Kristinn Hrafnsson and Joseph Farrell are other publicly known associates of Assange who have been involved in the project. Harrison is also a member of Sunshine Press Productions along with Assange and Ingi Ragnar Ingason. Gavin MacFadyen was acknowledged by Assange as a beloved director of WikiLeaks shortly after his death in 2016.
WikiLeaks was originally established with a wiki communal publication method, which was terminated by May 2010. Original volunteers and founders were once described as a mixture of Asian dissidents, journalists, mathematicians, and start-up company technologists from the United States, Taiwan, Europe, Australia, and South Africa. As of June 2009, the website had more than 1,200 registered volunteers.
In mid-February 2010, WikiLeaks received a leaked diplomatic cable from the United States Embassy in Reykjavik relating to the Icesave scandal, which they published on 18 February. The cable, known as Reykjavik 13, was the first of the classified documents WikiLeaks published among those allegedly provided to them by United States Army Private Chelsea Manning, then known as Bradley. In March 2010, WikiLeaks released a secret 32-page US Department of Defense Counter-intelligence Analysis Report written in March 2008 discussing the leaking of material by WikiLeaks and how it could be deterred.
