Ban Ki-moon, on visit to Iceland, says Snowden abused his access to information. (dv.is)

Ban Ki-moon criticises Snowden at a meeting with the Icelandic foreign-affairs committee.

Pieces of the story:

"He said that his opinion is that Snowden is guilty of abuse and that that more access to information couldn't be abused like Snowden did."

Birgitta Jonsdottir asked for an explanation for those words to which Ban Ki-moon replied:

"More access can be good for the public, but sometimes bigger problems arise because of abuse by individuals."

It seems that Ban Ki-moon doesn't understand the case and/or is under orders from someone else.
