The European Court of Human Rights' judgment on the 10 Human Rights Organisations case is due on 25 May 2021 (@ECHR_CEDH).

We sat down with @Snowden last year to discuss what this case means for surveillance not only in the UK, but around the world. Watch here to get up to date!

This case was made possible because of Ed Snowden’s disclosures in 2013, and through the joint effort of 9 other human rights organisations.
And more: in 2017 our case was joined with those of @BigBrotherWatch and @TBIJ - there is many of us waiting!

I want to revive the original spirit of the older, pre-commercial internet—if not in form, then in function. A slower, more thoughtful, more creative space. You're invited:

Edward Snowden receives Russian passport

The American whistleblower has now become a full-fledged Russian citizen, his lawyer says.

According to Snowden’s lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, who spoke with Interfax on Friday, the whistleblower has also taken an oath mandated by law in order to become a full-fledged Russian citizen.

Kucherena noted that since #Snowden now holds a Russian passport, he cannot be legally extradited to any foreign state seeking charges against him. In the US, where he stands accused of espionage and theft of state property.

When Snowden was granted citizenship in late September, concerns were raised that the whistleblower could now be drafted into the Russian army and sent to fight in Ukraine. His lawyer, however, has explained that although Snowden is now technically a Russian citizen of military age, he is not eligible for mobilization because he has never served in the Russian army.

In 2017, Snowden married American acrobat and blogger Lindsay Mills in Moscow. The two have since had a child, who has automatically received Russian citizenship. Kucherena says that Mills is now also gathering documents to apply for a Russian passport.
