“Cancelation of the passport wasn’t just an effort to prevent the whistleblower from getting to a country that might grant political asylum. It was also a declaration that the U.S. government can nullify the right to travel just as surely as it can nullify the right to privacy. Since 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has affirmed with clarity: ‘Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.’ The only other words of Article 14 specify an exception that clearly doesn’t apply: ‘This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.'”
