Blueprint’s Head of Technical & Security Peter Tonoli provided a technical perspective on the challenges that journalists face in protecting their whistleblowers at the Sydney launch of a ground-breaking UNESCO report.

A diverse group of individuals from six different countries were recognised for their "bravery, integrity and commitment to the public interest" in exposing workplace corruption, government wrongdoing and detriments to public safety, often at considerable personal cost.

Blueprint for Free Speech is sponsoring this free event, for all those interested in expanding their encryption and personal online security skills.

Rights and protections for whistleblowers have been improved all over the world thanks to international and regional collaboration – particularly among NGOs and activists. To strengthen these joint efforts, Blueprint for Free Speech is co-hosting two important whistleblower events in Sarajevo on 18-19 June.
