Edward Snowden's lawyer has been detained and interrogated in London
Firedoglake is reporting
about jessalyn Radack who represents national security
with net NSA whistleblower Edward snowden and has spoken on his behalf
numerous times was detained while going through customs at Heathrow Airport in
London
she told that she told Firedoglake that she was directed to a specific Heathrow
border agent he didn't seem interested in in looking at her passport at all
but rather it was interested in questioning her in a hostile I'll
manner when she was asked why she was there she said to see friends
who will you be seeing she said I'll be seeing a group called Sam Adams
associates
the agent wanted to know who's in that group in she said oh it's people like
Ray McGovern in Craig murray et cetera I'm also part of a group
the question then was where will you meet
and she said well at the Ecuadorian embassy
the agent said with Julian assignment she said yes indeed
and then she was asked why have you gone to Russia several times in the last few
months and she said I have a client there
that client is Edward snowden et cetera et cetera
and then asked about Bradley Manning now known as Chelsea Manning
and afterward she said I was horrified that this agent seem to really just be
interested in giving me a hard time
knew about Chelsea Manning knew about 100 snowed knew about
the Juliana signs and the Ecuadorian embassy
and the ACLU is getting involved in saying you know
this is a complete overreach
based on whether its surveillance or knowledge of miss Radack
but this is just absolutely a violation
love all any number right not any number but the ACLU has
has several gripes with what was done here and
I understand that if this attorney was suspected of some kind of crime or some
kind of involvement with
breaking laws or whatever the case may be
then it would be justified to interrogate her about specific crimes
she may have
committed but everyone is entitled to
and deserves legal representation and detaining someone
were being me the legal representative
up someone who is wanted in this case Edward snowden
that is impeding the carriage have justice and it is absolutely not
acceptable
you are essentially saying if merely by representing Edward snowden you deserve
this
you're saying that Edwards known actually doesn't really have a right to
the best attorney he can get
yeah is just intimidation and buggery
and to think that this is going to have any impacts
on her or snowden or the situation and is ridiculous
course this is just going to to make things worse for them
