Two years have passed since the first disclosures of internal NSA documents by Edward Snowden pointing out secret service affairs without peer. Two years should be more than enough time for the German Public Prosecutor General of the Federal Court of Justice to acknowledge these findings and start at least a preliminary investigation. To further ignore this affair raises the suspicion of obstruction of justice in official act. We decided to write a further written pleading to remind the Federal Prosecutor General of our complaint against the German Government concerning the complete surveillance of the general public by secret services.
<!-- TEASER_END -->
Today, we filed a counter-response to the Federal Prosecutor General,
Harald Range, and made another written request to finally urge him to
investigate the apparent mass surveillance.
Since our first complaint, dated February 3rd, 2014, many further facts
have been revealed by international media and the dedicated commission
of inquiry at the German Bundestag. Those facts cannot be ignored any
longer. Based on the chancellery's knowledge of the surveillance and
espionage activities reaching back to 2008, the Federal Prosecutor
General Range is now obligated to finally investigate the matter.
Disclosures of industrial espionage and spying on the Federal
Chancellors phone only deflect from the relevant facts, i. e. the
cooperation of international secret services undermining the democratic
foundation of our society. We all are the true victims of this affair;
losing the fundamental ideals of our society and our democracy.
\
Background:
On February 3rd, 2014, the Civil Liberties Organizations „International
League for the Human Rights“, „Chaos Computer Club“ and „DigitalCourage“
filed a criminal complaint against the US, UK and German governments and
the heads of the respective secret services to the German Prosecutor
General. During the further procedure, six other organizations, as well
as 1,848 individuals have joined the complaint.

Schultz at +49172 4203768.
