The first fund to finance claims under the Italian FOIA

With publication imminent by Chiarelettere of the book Silenzi di Stato, dieci storie di trasparenza negata e di cittadini che non si arrendono (State Silences: ten stories about denied transparency and citizens who do not surrender), the two authors and Helen Darbishire, a leading European voice on freedom of information, will launch the first Italian fund - fully funded by crowdfunding - to support the legal actions of journalists, citizens and associations whose aim is to defend and expand the rights of access to information.
