Sibel Edmonds

Sibel Edmonds
Sibel Edmonds is a Turkish-American and Iranian-American who started working as a translator for the Federal Bureau of Investigation shortly after 9/11 but was fired after six months, as she claimed, for being a whistleblower. However, the courts would not hear her case because it would require the F.B.I. to disclose sensitive documents. She claimed her colleagues had deliberately covered up illegal activity by Turkish nationals. As a result, several senators addressed a letter to then-director of the F.B.I. Robert Mueller requesting that the translation unit be independently reviewed. She founded and now runs the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition.
