決定轉貼這篇文章，除了重申「言論自由」的重要，也提到Assange 必須主動面對性侵案件，對「身體自主」的尊重，以及與俄國過從甚密而帶來人權侵害的另一個隱憂。
是目前針對聲援Assange 所有聲明中，闡述最全面對的一篇文章。
【20190503聲援Assange記者會】
綠黨作為全球串連的政黨，對於國際人權的聲援，也責無旁貸。今（5/3）本黨代表出席聲援朱利安·亞桑傑（Julian P. Assange）的記者會，是基於 #資訊公開 跟 #新聞自由 的基本人權之故。
誠如大家所知，Assange是 #維基解密 的發起人跟代言人。這個網站，因為揭露了美國政府在戰爭中的不法情事，致使被美國政府通緝，日前在英國被捕，正在引渡回美國受審。
維基解密至今發佈了超過1000萬份文件、及相關分析，主要內容是涉及政府在戰爭、諜報，跟相關的官方機密文件的大型資料庫。Assange在訪談時表示：維基解密是全球最受嚴密監控的文件之大型資料庫。台灣綠黨一致肯認這件事情的意義，並且站在新聞自由的立場，呼籲政府應該接受人民的監督，以及面對自己的作為。
維基解密過去曾發布大量的敏感性資料，這些事情雖然令相關單位感到不堪或尷尬，但是這也促進了世界各國對人權的保障；包括2008年的《經濟學人》雜誌和國際特赦組織... 等，都多有肯定。《紐約每日新聞報》甚至將其列為「徹底改變新聞界的網站」中的第一名；這都是肯定維基解密對資訊揭露、促進世界和平的重大貢獻。
本黨認為：公權力需要受到監督、以及政府決策過程需要透明化的立場，在此進行聲援。無論是英國或美國，都是民主典範的國家，我們也在此呼籲，面對新興的網路科技資訊應用，兩國都該有其表率風範，落實對言論自由或新聞自由的保障。
我們同時也希望 Assange 先生，需要主動面對他在瑞典受指控的性侵害案；新聞自由誠然有其正當性，但是對於「身體自主權」的尊重，也是全球綠人的核心價值。
於此同時，維基解密網站的內容，近幾年也因為跟俄國過從甚密，而帶來人權侵害的另一隱憂。「資訊公開」如何避免成為極權主義介入他國內政的工具，這是當代資訊科技愈發普及之時，公民們也需要有對應的媒體識讀能力，才能營造出更為長遠的和平願景。
今天的記者會，是由本黨前召集人艾琳達協同召開。我們很榮幸可以在全球綠人的核心理念之下，關切此一國際人權事件，並對此發聲。美國跟澳洲的綠黨夥伴們，也都有相關的聲援行動。未來希望大家持續關注，無論是維基解密的相關進展、抑或是國內的假新聞濫竽充數，都能化阻力為助力，一起為了更好的台灣而努力！

〔May 3, 2019, Press Conference - In Support of Julian Assange〕
As an international party, Green Party Taiwan is firm on its position to advocate international human rights. Therefore, in today’s press conference (5/3/2019), we gather here to support Julian P. Assange and to support human rights in forms of information transparency and freedom of the press.
Julian Assange is the founder and the spokesperson of Wikileaks, a website that uncovered and published unlawful engagements of the US army in 2010, and Assange was later indicted by the US government for it. Last month, Assange was arrested by the UK police and is now in the process of being extradited to the US for his trials.
Since its launch, WikiLeaks has published over 10 million entries of data and analysis, specializing in war, spy, corruption, and relevant official confidential documents. Assange has said in an interview that “WikiLeaks is a giant library of the world's most persecuted documents.”
Green Pary Taiwan believes it is essential that freedom of the press is protected and the governments are held accountable for their actions.
Wikileaks has published a large amount of sensitive information that embarrassed the authorities involved, but in the process, it helps promote the protection of human rights across the globe. Their endeavors were recognized by The Economist and Amnesty International, among others. New York Daily News even listed Wikileaks as one of the five “pioneering Web sites that could totally change the news.” These awards and recognitions highlight how much Wikileaks has contributed to increasing information transparency and world peace.
Green Party Taiwan believes that the public power needs to be overseen and that the making of public policies should be transparent. That is why we are here today to support Julian Assange. As the UK and the US are role models of democracy, we hope that both countries will lead by example and take actions in protecting freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
Meanwhile, we ask that Mr. Julian Assange take initiatives in facing the rape charges against him in Sweden. While the Green Party values freedom of speech, we also value each person’s boldly autonomy.
We also hope that Wikileaks will keep its distance from Russia, as it has been accused of assisting Russia in interfering with other countries‘ internal affairs, posting threats to human rights by empowering an authoritarian regime. How to protect “information transparency” from becoming a tool of authoritarian interference is an urgent issue that needs attention. We hope that citizens across the globe will increase their media literacy in this age of digitization to sustain global peace.
Today’s press conference is held by Green Party Taiwan as well we Miss Linda Arrigo, a former leader of Green Party Taiwan, and we are honored to be able to voice our opinion in advocacy of human rights, which is a core belief of the Green Party. The Green Party in Australia and in the US have also voiced their support for Julian Assange. We hope this press conference would invite more attention to issues surrounding Wikileaks’s future as well as damages that are being done to freedom of speech in Taiwan, such as fake news and misinformation. We hope such attention would create positive momentum to improve Taiwan.
