Meeting and presentation of the book ‘The secret power’ Events in Pisa
What are the limits of the right to information? How far can freedom of the press go? Where does the duty of a State to guarantee its own security end and where does the control of Power over citizens begin?
Questions that are the basis of the rule of law and whose topicality has returned to dramatic relevance in the face of the dramatic international situation that seems to have taken us back decades to the times of the Cold War and the clash between freedom and despotism.
It will be discussed on Thursday 1 December at the Domus Mazziniana, from 5.30 pm in a meeting dedicated to the most famous of the cases in which freedom of information and national security have entered a collision course: the story of Wikileaks and the journalist Julian Assange, starting from volume by Stefania Maurizi, The secret power, (Chiarelettere, 2021, with a preface by the British director Ken Loach), which received the prestigious Alessandro Leogrande awards and the European Award for Investigative and Judicial Journalism.
The meeting, organized by the survivors and relatives of the victims of Nazi-fascist violence, in collaboration with the Amnesty International group of Pisa, the Italian Mazzinian Association and the Feltrinelli bookshop, will see a dialogue with the author, Stefania Maurizi, journalist, writer, collaborator of the Wikileaks group and of Julian Assange himself, the director of Il Pensiero Mazziniano, Pietro Caruso, the military magistrate Luca Baiada and the national spokesman of Amnesty International Riccardo Noury.
