Other human rights issues that are controversial include the case of Edward Snowden.[30][31][32] However, the significance of human right does not fall into this case regarding whether Snowden received his fair trial or not. Rather, the human rights associated with the Snowden leaks are regarding the types of document Snowden released. Snowden released a significant amount of information on the U.S. government's surveillance program of its citizens[33][34][35][36] to The Washington Post as well as foreign news reporters.
