The lawsuit comes after classified documents were made public reportedly showed that a secret surveillance program, which dates back from the 1990's, collected data on virtually all international phone calls.

"At Human Rights Watch we work with people who are sometimes in life-or-death situations, where speaking out can make them a target," said Dinah PoKempner, general counsel at the watchdog group.
