Edward Snowden has drawn attention to a Guardian report that Britain's surveillance agency GCHQ intercepted Amnesty International's communications. A secret tribunal found the spying was unlawful, undermining government claims that mass surveillance protects public safety. Critics say the case shows rights groups and ordinary citizens, not terrorists, were among the targets, fueling debate over surveillance reform.
