The German government is accusing two journalists of treason, after they published articles on online surveillance which are said to be based on classified documents. The story has been dominating the German media.

The two reporters posted this picture on Twitter posing with the letter from the federal prosecutor. Ironically, behind them on the wall you can see the famous Soviet 'hush' poster. RT spoke about the case with former MI5 agent Annie Machon.
