UN rights chief urges protection for individuals revealing human rights violations

“Snowden’s case has shown the need to protect persons disclosing information on matters that have implications for human rights, as well as the importance of ensuring respect for the right to privacy,” said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay.

Well, I do agree that whistleblowers who reveal serious human rights violations should be protected somehow, I am just not sure this case is the right one to bring this up.

I am sorry, I am still not convinced that what he was/is doing is 100% for the right cause.
