I'd be very cautious about building lists like this. Take Assange, for
example: is he resisting persecution by a justice system used maliciously,
or is he using Wikileaks as cover to dodge rape charges in Sweden? Putting
him on a list of open access martyrs implies support for his position,
which I personally wouldn't be comfortable doing at present.
