Valid Values is a project about the politically motivated prosecution of Julian Assange. Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, is charged by the US government with publishing war crimes committed by that same government. He could face 175 years in jail. Democracy is in danger when it becomes a crime to publish truthful information. This isn’t just an attack on journalism. It’s an attack on the future of democracy.
