Edward Snowden speaks to Mehdi Hasan - UpFront 

Mehdi hassan the finest journalist of this generation

Came here after watching citizen four. The whole interview was great, Mehdi is great and a breath of fresh air.

Mehdi , you are now in my eyes the most capable and honest television journalist second is JOhn Oliver, respect

Snowden is a humanist and an angel!

Edward is a better American. He represents the US creed of freedom.

Mehdi Hasan, Edward Snowden, and Daniel Ellsberg, it doesn't get any better than that. TheReaper!

Edward Snowden American with balls

What a show again by #MehandiHasan. Been his fan since Head to Head. What a perfect beginning with perfect guest. Still hope Head to Head continues in coming days...

"It's very difficult to respond in a serious way to any statement made by Donald Trump" -Snowden LOL

The perfect guest for the first episode.

Thanks from Denmark

Serious respect for the intellect and technique of Mehdi Hasan. Pleasure to watch him.

We love Snowden dearly ...

Snowden risked his life to tell the truth. So much respect 🙌🏼👏🏼

Great show!

Snowden is the real Nobel peace prize winner

Best show on AJ

Outstanding show, and a pleasure as always to get to hear the words of the man our history books will lie about. Thanks for interview, Mehdi Hasan et al!

2 of the greatest human beings on this earth, Medhi and Edward.

Mehdi good luck with the show, you retain a high standard of journalism in every show you present. As much as you rightly point out Europe's hypocricy in handling the refugee crisis it would be necessary to shed light to Gulf states' policies towards them also. Especially if one considers their direct support to the Syrian civil war. Also given your take on Iraq it would be very helpful if at some point, through your show you present the aspects of sunni - shia divide not on religious terms but rather socio-political ones. As an outsider it strikes me the way political fragmentation in a handfull of Muslim states follows a religious rather an economic divide.

I miss this program on Al-Jazeera and the charismatic journalist, Mehdi Hassan

Ed Snowden is such a brave guy and whats the realy intersting thing, that by the way he's even far more intelligent then the average person on the street. In any interview given by him, you realize that he's very thoughtfull and knowing what he's talking about. God may bless and protect you. Peace!!

Snowden *is* a hero, whether he likes the term or not ;) I do hope he realizes (maybe he already has) that the US is not the best place on earth to live, not even a very nice place, so no reason for even wanting to go back to live there...

These mans are a brave human's brave heart, standing against, wrong doing...

Snowden seems like an intelligent and nice guy and the same is true for Mehdi

Ed Snowden is *The* hero.

They make so much sense

Glorious! Good show. Good little grilling of the ambassador aswell :) And he responded well too. A kind of hope instilling show all in all imo. Go Snowden, go Mehdi Hasan! Thank you for your work.

No such thing as fair trial in court

Crime of any kind should be stopped.

A fabulous journalist interviewing two real heroes of the USA

I can't shop at Walmart but I can still lecture at Princeton. >_>

Stop the war on humanity !

The only journalist with integrity in the world

awesome awesomeawesomecongratulations mehdi,such an quest wil not be welcomed in the so (called) pro democratic Chanels like CNN BBC FOX

Snowden sounds very nice and elegent. I can tell he is speaking the truth

long live snowden

>>> Excellent

This man is a hero Edward Snowden is world hero a true Patriot I can salute.

Two greatest fighters of this century!!!

Mehdi Hassan, the face of true journalism

Journalism at its best

Edward Snowden changed the course of history forever.

Talking points notes located to the side of Snowden. lol Glance, speak, glance, speak, glance, speak...lol

Hero

3 of the finest human being right now

How about Snowden for president

To me Edward Snowden represent the real american values. salute.

is he reading from a paper in front of him?!! , he is gotta be reading from a paper🤔.

Good news

Ed Snowden still, even in 2020, gives me hope for humanity's future.

poor Donald trump, from a million air to a laughing stock to the whole world. i hope he finds the courage to be a better person someday. Edward Snowden is very intelligent and well spoken for his age. i highly recommend Snowden to be president but i don't think the elite wants honest pple to run the country.

Snowden vs The system, who you think won !!!

~Edward Snowden, Mehdi Hassan, Great Guys

I love mehdi so much

Love you Mahdi and Snowoden

This guy is an activist, not a journalist. There's plenty of room for both in the media, but we need to be clear about the distinction. It's interesting to ponder what it says about someone who listens to activism and thinks it's journalism.

Please improve the quality of the audio-visuality

Mehdi Hassan is such good journalist

Merci hasan

Mehdi hassam is a great journalist.

Peace 2 snowden ✌

Mehdi Hasan is quality.

Snowden keeps looking down...is he reading a script.

Mehdi has a iron voice against violents.

Wow!

One thing I will say, I wonder why Snowden is celebrated so much. Most Americans and the world's population knew what was happening, but chose to ignore it. And now, if you see it, the companies and the govt orgs still involved in these activities are stil going strong. And the corporations involved are making record profits capturing and using this information flow.

its about time aljazeera starts discussing the conditions in sudan ,ey..? bias as always

People don't have to run if your not bombing.

I love you Eddy ... if you read this call me ... on an encrypted device of course ♥️

You can now order a Dominos Pizza in Moscow. dominospizza.ru/ Its' a pleasure to hear that Snowden is leading a somewhat normal personal life. More importantly Snowden's professional life and exemplary public service have been greatly enhanced because of technology. I look forward to all the forthcoming stories to be published by Glen Greenwald at The Intercept.

Pretty brave human, considering you know , who he is up against. I don't believe I would have done the same. It does say something that we haven't heard he's a pdf or sexy salter

Great show, good luck. Talk more about Muslim countries and why they are not doing anything to help these refugees. The ambassador is pretending that he is in denial, he know Iraq needs a serious reformation. If Kurds have their own country other Kurds in Syria/Turkey/Iran will fight to split and join 'em.

This is the dog-MH

I thought Pakistani Mahdi Hassan

Hey Mahdi ... tell us again about your belief that Mo ascended to heaven on a winged horse.

Snowden = controlled opposition.

Metal Hasan as intelligent person, he should know that shait and sinny lived in peace and harmony with each others, until the warmongers and Western regime and UK regime divided them, divide and conquer

Just imagine if some Islamic country made the requirement of war affected refugee asylum as "Muslim only", for the same wars they finance and benefit them! And they claim Islam is violent and inhuman 😂😂😂

So technically a whistleblower is just a nice word for spy

any upfront about your Qatari boss Mehdi? no ?

See YT video where mehdi hassan says he believes muhammad flew to heaven on a winged horse. How can you trust a man who believes in the equivalent of fairy tales

I dont know what I do think about this mehdi hasan.. He talks so good but it is aljazeera could we can trust him ? :/

Mehdi became famous after his debate on Islam and a net work hired him because he can’t shut up and allow the people he interviews speak so it makes his show “ exciting “ now he’s milking it. I can’t STAND him.
