Privacy International

Activities

Privacy International partnered with Reprieve to bring a lawsuit against the UK government in connection with MI5 operatives' express right to disobey UK laws. As a result of this victory, the UK government published an annex of the 2016 Investigatory Powers Act about criminal activity by employees of MI5.[1]

Illegal surveillance by MI5

In 2018, it emerged that MI5 unlawfully tapped Privacy International's communications.[2]

 

Sponsors

EventDescription
Adessium FoundationA secretive Dutch foundation that donates to projects backed by Western governments.
American Civil Liberties Union
European CommissionThe executive body of the European Union, responsible for proposing legislation, implementing decisions, upholding the EU treaties and managing day-to-day business.
German Marshall FundAccording to whistleblower Udo Ulfkotte, a CIA front group. Despite the 'German' in its name, it is a fully US/CIA-controlled operation, mainly to maintain a network of transatlantic European politicians and journalists. Hugely influential behind the scenes.
Omidyar NetworkFoundation owned by the the deep state-connected billionaire Pierre Omidyar, financing preferred NGOs
Open Society FoundationsA NGO operating in more countries than McDonald's. It has the tendency to support politicians (at times through astroturfing) and activists that get branded as "extreme left" as its founder is billionaire and bane of the pound George Soros. This polarizing perspective causes the abnormal influence of the OSF to go somewhat unanswered.
