Widney Brown, Amnesty International's senior director of international law and policy, said: "It is utterly improbable that David Michael Miranda, a Brazilian national transiting through London, was detained at random, given the role his partner has played in revealing the truth about the unlawful nature of NSA surveillance.

"David's detention was unlawful and inexcusable. He was detained under a law that violates any principle of fairness and his detention shows how the law can be abused for petty, vindictive reasons.

"There is simply no basis for believing that David Michael Miranda presents any threat whatsoever to the UK government. The only possible intent behind this detention was to harass him and his partner, Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald, for his role in analysing the data released by Edward Snowden."

据英国《卫报》8月19日报道，披露美国国家安全局大规模监控项目的英国《卫报》记者格林沃尔德的伴侣8月18日途径伦敦希思罗机场遭英国当局拘留。

格伦•格林沃尔德28岁的同居男友戴维•米兰达正从德国柏林返回巴西里约热内卢的家，但途径英国时被英国警方以2000年反恐法拘留。该法颇具争议，允许警方截留、调查和盘问有关人员，但只适用于机场、港口和边境地区。

米兰达从上午8点05分被扣到释放长达9小时，已达该法规定的最长拘留时间，在此期限内警方必须释放或正式逮捕被拘留者。官方数据显示，在第七条之下的审查有超过97%不到1小时，2000人中只有1人被扣6小时以上。
