Amnesty was target of GCHQ mass snooping
BRITAIN’S spy watchdog has admitted that security agencies snooped on Amnesty International.
Amnesty demanded an independent inquiry into why eavesdropping agency GCHQ had been spying on human rights organisations.
The investigatory powers tribunal notified Amnesty International on Wednesday that GCHQ had spied on the organisation by intercepting, accessing and storing its communications, despite previously having said the opposite.
