The pathetic track record of Human Rights Watch: a pattern of cowardice

"In response to these developments, Ken Roth, head of "Human Rights Watch," tweeted:
"Snowden’s #Ecuador is limiting asylum rights http://trib.al/goW5gcS and criminalizing journalists who harm security."
No sooner had Snowden’s plane touched down on Russian soil then Roth retweeted this pearl of wisdom from one of his "human rights" buddies:
"Edward Snowden, martyr for online freedom and privacy, now passing thru Moscow? Say hi to Alexei Navalny while you’re there."
As one Twitter wit quipped:
"Seems @KenRoth is following Snowden around the world, blasting HR in every country his plane is landing.""  As if there is a democratic country that would dare take him. (thanks Richard)
