Thread: Edward Snowden and his stay in Russia

Did you read that British police at Heathrow (main airport in London) stopped the Brazilian (gay) partner of Greenwald, the British journalist who had been liasing with Snowden.

Greenwald (wisely) lives in Brazil. The Brazilian guy was just passing the UK in transit. However, they seized his laptop, memory sticks and lots of other electronic stuff, and haven't given it back.

They held him for 9 hours using a terrorism clause, then released him. He is understandably furious, since he wasn't even involved in Greenwald's journalism.

Уф, как всё же мне повезло, что я не поехал на олимпиаду в Лондон

А вообще, грустно всё это...

I've stated it on other threads and I'll state it again. I never supported a boycott of the Sochi Games.
