---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [Iac2009] IMMI (aka 'Lex Wikileaks' ;-) adopted in Iceland From: "Patrice Riemens" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, June 18, 2010 08:53 To: [log in to unmask] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Right on schedule, the Icelandic parliament has adopted a law that purports to offer to whistleblowers worldwide the most robust judicial protection possible anywhere. It is for information activists on the ground, who are directly confronted with repression, to appreciate and judge what IMMI can do for them, but I tend to think that this is a truly major development.
