189. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will make representations to the authorities of Sweden, Britain and the United States of America regarding their treatment of a person (details supplied) who has been effectively incarcerated as a result of being pursued with relentless vigour by the United States of America for his work exposing mass-scale privacy invasions by the National Security Agency in the United States of America and the Government Communications Headquarters in the United Kingdom.

I am aware of this case but as it is the subject of ongoing legal proceedings it would not be appropriate for me to make representations to any of the States mentioned or, indeed, to comment.
