From Wikileaks

The following is a list of whistleblowers and truth-tellers we have compiled from around the world. Note the following considerations.

1. Of course the list cannot be complete. First of course the volume of truth telling incidents around the world is enormous and impossible to enumerate — in every industry, in every government, at every level, from the earth-shattering to the relatively mundane. Second, especially in the third world, many stories of truth telling simply do not see the light of day, locally or internationally. Truth tellers or leakers are often anonymous — it is courageous enough to reveal the truth anonymously in the face of reprisals which may include disappearance or death — and of course, wikileaks.org hopes to be of assistance to truth tellers even in such daunting circumstances. In anonymous truth telling cases, journalists often play the part of the truth teller, putting their name to the story and also putting their safety on the line.
2. In the list below we have tried to include truth tellers from all around the world. In the case of some repressive regimes we have included courageous journalists who have faced severe risks for exposing injustice while their sources remain anonymous. More stories are easily available on the internet, of course, from countries which are wealthier and in which there have been campaigns in favor of whistleblower protection laws.
3. Some editorial comments are indicated in bold after the descriptions, where the inclusion of the person is questionable.

To add an additional truth teller, start a new page under the person's full name and cut and paste the following to the top of the page (so it appears in this index).

{{truth teller|country=country}}

or

{{journalist|country=country}}

for the specific case of a journalist.
