The claimants are +demanding an end to such exploitation of Internet and communication +services, the targeting of their systems administrators and protections +for their users whose rights may have been infringed. + +### Links: + +- \[0\] [Press statement + (pdf)](/system/uploads/151/original/GCHQ_attacking_providers_final_PR.pdf) +- \[1\] [Full test of the final grounds + (pdf)](/system/uploads/152/original/2014_07_01_Final_grounds.pdf) +- \[2\] [Complaint at the European Court of Human + Rights](http://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2014/gchq-egmr) +- \[3\] [NSA-GCHQ Snowden leaks: A glossary of the key + terms](http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-25085592) -- cgit v1.2.3
