Passing of the former Brazilian congressman and journalist David Miranda

It is with great sorrow that we receive the news of the passing of the former Brazilian congressman and journalist David Miranda. David was an important figure in the fight for human rights, especially regarding privacy and digital security.

As a journalist, he was fundamental in disseminating Edward Snowden’s revelations about the mass surveillance practices of the United States. As a politician, he tirelessly dedicated himself to defending civil liberties and the protection of citizens’ personal data. His contribution to the cause will be remembered with fondness and respect.

We at the Pirate Parties International offer our sincere condolences to David’s family, friends, and colleagues. May his legacy continue to inspire future generations in the fight for a fairer and freer world.
