FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Libertarian Party of Wisconsin Applauds Ulbricht Pardon
The Libertarian Party of Wisconsin (LPWI) celebrates the full pardon of Ross Ulbricht, a decision that restores justice for a man whose case has long symbolized government overreach and the criminalization of innovation. Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road online marketplace, was sentenced to double life imprisonment without parole for non-violent crimes. His punishment has been widely criticized as an affront to the principles of due process, proportional justice, and individual freedom. LPWI welcomes his pardon as a victory for liberty and human dignity. The pardon is a campaign promise fulfilled by President Trump, who pledged to do so after tireless advocation from many in the Libertarian Party.
However, the work is far from over. LPWI emphasizes that countless other individuals have suffered persecution for exposing government abuses or challenging unjust systems. Figures like Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and Roger Ver remain targets of vindictive prosecution for their efforts to reveal truth and empower individuals. The LPWI calls on state and federal leaders to extend justice to whistleblowers and other non-violent figures who have been unfairly prosecuted.
This moment should inspire a broader movement to reform the legal system, ensuring it upholds fairness and protects those who challenge the status quo. LPWI will continue to advocate for justice and the rights of all individuals in the fight for a freer, more transparent society.
Want to help? Join us in the pursuit of liberty for all of Wisconsin!
