Sibel Deniz Edmonds (born 1970) is an Iranian-American former FBItranslator and founder of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition(NSWBC). Edmonds gained public attention following her firing from her position as a language specialist at the FBI’s Washington Field Office in March 2002, after she accused a colleague of covering up illicit activity involving foreign nationals, alleging serious acts of security breaches, cover-ups, and intentional blocking of intelligence which, she contended, presented a danger to the United States‘ security. Her later claims have gained her awards and fame as a whistleblower.
