Pink Floyd co-founder keeps tearing down the wall, wants to fund WikiLeaks revival

Iconic musician Roger Waters has expressed his willingness to financially support WikiLeaks after the return of founder Jullian Assange.

The Pink Floyd Co-founder, known for his outspoken activism, made these remarks during an interview with Reuters where he discussed his ongoing support for Assange and WikiLeaks.

Roger Waters, who had long called for the release of the Australian publisher from a jail in Britain, told Reuters he had exchanged messages of “sighs of relief” with Assange’s wife Stella since he arrived home.

“If he could (return to WikiLeaks) and if it’s in his heart and if that’s what he would want to do, I’m sure he’s got the balls to do it,” Waters said in an interview. “That remains to be seen.”, said Waters.

On funding WikiLeaks, he told Reuters: “Of course. I mean, I can’t fund the whole thing. One has a limited war chest…I want them to encourage whistleblowers everywhere to go to them.”
