Sibel Deniz Edmonds is a former contract translator for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the founder and editor-in-chief of the independent news website NewsBud.

  • Sibel Deniz Edmonds (* 1970 im Iran) ist eine ehemalige US-amerikanische Übersetzerin arabischsprachiger Texte beim Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), die in der Folge eine der bekanntesten Whistleblower in den USA wurde. Wenige Tage nach den Terroranschlägen am 11. September 2001 wurde sie als Dolmetscherin vom FBI eingestellt und arbeitete an der Übersetzung von Überwachungs-Tonbändern in Zusammenhang mit den Terroranschlägen. Sie wurde im März 2002 entlassen, nachdem sie verschiedene Vorfälle von Unterschlagung von Beweismitteln, Landesverrat und Amtspflichtverletzung meldete. Seitdem erhob sie wiederholt Anschuldigungen gegen korrupte Pentagon-Angestellte im Zusammenhang mit unerlaubter Kernwaffen-Proliferation der USA, zuletzt in einer Enthüllungs-Serie der Londoner Sunday Times.

Pendant sa collaboration au FBI, elle découvrit et dénonça des actes d’espionnage et de rétention d’informations susceptibles de mettre en danger la Sécurité nationale des États-Unis. Après avoir averti sa hiérarchie, elle fut réduite au silence par le FBI et, devant son entêtement, licenciée en mars 2002. La procédure judiciaire intentée aboutit finalement à l’utilisation du privilège de secret d'État par le procureur général des États-Unis John Ashcroft ; le Congrès fut même empêché de statuer et de délibérer de son cas. Elle a obtenu en mars 2006 le PEN/Newman’s Own First Amendment Award (prix d'une association d'écrivains) pour sa contribution à la simple liberté d’expression dont chaque citoyen (fr)
