The UK Detains Glen Greenwald’s Partner

This video explains how the journalist Glen Greenwald–famous for his part in reporting the Snowden leaks and his work on drones–is being targeted by the UK government (likely acting as a proxy for the US government) through his partner. Greenwald’s partner, a Brazilian man named David Miranda, was stopped and detained by UK authorities for 9 hours under the UK terrorism statute–his electronic devices were seized and he was questioned without the ability to have a lawyer present.

I am still getting used to my software and the medium of video, but I think that this is pretty good for a first attempt–more video on addition topics to follow soon.
