The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that some aspects of British surveillance violated the European Convention on Human Rights. The case was sparked by revelations from US whistleblower Edward Snowden, and is being celebrated by civil liberty groups.

There was always a starkly political quality to Chelsea Manning's case. Her unprecedented 35-year jail sentence was obviously designed to deter anyone from following her example.

Manning has served seven years of her 35-year sentence.
