A LIVE MAIL ART PIECE
TRACKING A PARCEL FROM JULIAN ASSANGE TO NABEEL RAJAB

London.
Monday, October 28 2013

«Delivery for Mr. Rajab» is a live mail art piece and the continuation
of «Delivery for Mr. Assange». In January 2013, !Mediengruppe Bitnik
sent Wikileaks-founder Julian Assange a parcel containing a hidden
camera. Through a hole in the parcel, the camera documented and
live-tweeted its journey through the postal system, letting anyone
online follow the parcels status in real-time. After 32 hours and a
tantalizing and intense journey, sharing over 9000 images of postal
bags, vans and delivery centers, the camera arrived and Julian Assange
performed for the several thousand people watching.

Together with Julian Assange, we have decided to send the parcel on a
second journey. The next recipient is Nabeel Rajab, a Bahraini human
rights activist, opposition leader and protest leader. He was arrested
several times in 2011 and 2012 during the ongoing national uprising in
Bahrain. Currently, he is serving a two year prison sentence for
protest-related charges and has been jailed at Jaw Prison in the
Southern Governorate of Bahrain since August 2012.

The images from the parcel are transferred to our website & twitter,
where the status of the parcel can be followed in realtime.

The parcel was picked up at the Ecuadorian embassy by the postman at
16:12 GMT on Monday, 28 October 2013.

The parcel is due to arrive at its destination within 48 hours. Should
the first parcel fail to reach Nabeel Rajab, a second
and third attempt will be made within the next few days.

We want to see where the parcel's journey will end.
Which route it takes and whether it reaches Nabeel.
