Daniel Hale presented with Sam Adams Award

We have reported several times on ex-drone pilot Daniel Hale, who is imprisoned in the U.S. solely for raising awareness about the atrocities of drone warfare, as we are now seeing in Ukraine.

Now Daniel Hale has been awarded the Sam Adams Prize. The US whistleblower NGO WHISPeR Project writes to us about this:

We are pleased to announce that last week our client, Daniel Hale, was awarded the Sam Adams Award for Integrity in Intelligence. The “Corner-Brightener Candlestick” was presented to Daniel’s friend Noor Mir. You can watch the online ceremony here https://samadamsaward.ch/daniel-hale/.

As it happens, this week is also the 20th anniversary of the first drone assassination in Yemen. From the beginning, the drone assassination program has been deeply shrouded in secrecy, allowing U.S. officials to hide significant violations of international law, and the American Constitution. In addition to the lives directly impacted by these strikes, the program has significantly eroded respect for international law and thereby puts civilians around the world in danger.

Daniel Hale’s revelations threw a beam of light into a very dark corner, allowing journalists to definitively show that the government's official narrative was a lie. It is thanks to the great personal sacrifice of drone whistleblowers like Hale that public understanding has finally begun to catch up to reality.

As the Sam Adams Associates note:

"Mr. Hale was well aware of the cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment to which other courageous officials have been subjected — and that he would likely suffer the same. And yet — in the manner of his famous ancestor Nathan Hale — he put his country first, knowing what awaited him at the hands of those who serve what has become a repressive Perpetual War State wreaking havoc upon much of the world."

We hope you’ll join the growing call to pardon or commute Hale’s sentence. U.S. citizens can contact your representatives here https://oneclickpolitics.global.ssl.fastly.net/messages/edit .

Daniel Hale had his electronic monitoring bracelet removed today. He spent 33 months in prison for courageously blowing the whistle on the US drone assassination program.
Another target of the Espionage Act who clearly did not commit espionage.
