On Thursday, Edward Snowden, ranted on Twitter about Assange’s arrest all morning and he says this is a dark day for journalism.
EDWARD SNOWDEN: Snowden lives in Russia under political asylum after being charged with stealing U.S. Government property and violating the Espionage Act of 1917. Therefore, Assange’s arrest may hit really close to home for Snowden.
EDWARD SNOWDEN: Snowden claims this day is a “dark day for journalism.”
Edward stated this on Twitter Thursday morning.
Images of Ecuador's ambassador inviting the UK's secret police into the embassy to drag a publisher of–like it or not–award-winning journalism out of the building are going to end up in the history books. Assange's critics may cheer, but this is a dark moment for press freedom. https://t.co/ys1AIdh2FP
