A coalition of 17 global civil society organisations, including Liberties, has sent a letter to European Commissioner for Justice and Consumers Věra Jourová to express the need for a reform of US surveillance laws.

The letter points out that the law that allowed surveillance programs like PRISM, revealed by Edward Snowden, is still on the books.
