Brown said he intended to claim asylum in the UK on the basis that he had been persecuted in the US for his journalism. The Guardian understands Brown has hired the London law firm ITN Solicitors to represent him in his criminal case and in immigration proceedings. Since arriving in the UK, Brown has launched several activist projects, including restarting Project PM, a crowd-sourced investigation into private intelligence companies that was at the centre of his prosecution in the US.
