Civil Society Strongly Condemns Attacks on the Whistleblower

The undersigned civil society organizations strongly condemn the deliberate and reckless attacks on the whistleblower. These heinous actions undermine the fragile fabric of safe legal channels for disclosing wrongdoing in the intelligence community. As a result future wrongdoing will go unreported or will be disclosed outside legally protected channels.
