David McBride told the truth. Now he’s in jail. Whistleblowers protect democracy and the public’s right to know. Punishing them silences truth. Attorney-General Michelle Rowland can act now. ✍️ Sign the open letter informationrights.org/take-action/... #FreeDavidMcBride #Whistleblowers #Justice

Telling the truth shouldn’t come at the cost of your freedom. Whether it’s journalists, whistleblowers, or ordinary people who speak out, they deserve protection, not punishment. Standing up for information rights isn’t just about free speech. It’s about defending democracy. informationrights.org
