Speaking at Courage’s launch event in Berlin last week, Edward Snowdenโs lawyer in Germany, Wolfgang Kaleck explained the threats his client faces, the politicisation of his case and the ongoing legal work to protect him.
Courage runs Edward Snowden’s only official defence fund, donations to which support legal and public defence efforts for the NSA whistleblower.ย Since the fund was launched in August 2013, it has spent over 100,000 dollars on
direct legal costs alone.
