Amal and George Clooney have amped up their security after the Human Rights Lawyer received death threats.
Metro reported that Amal Alamuddin-Clooney now has full-time security after her life was threatened. The worrying messages came after she agreed to represent the former president of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed.
George Clooney has asked help from South Oxfordshire district councilor Paul Harrison to increase the security for his wife. The councilor has also been involved with negotiations with the actor and the village regarding security cameras.
"Security isn't so much for him but for her," Harrison said. "From George's point of view, the high-level legal work she does and the death threats she gets, it's quite serious."
It was previously reported that Amal and George Clooney faced complaints from their neighbors regarding their CCTV system. The couple's neighbors have called the installation "unsightly and intrusive."
The cameras were denied installation after protests that it would be a "potential infringement of the privacy of neighboring properties." However, the councilor has added that they "have now been reduced from six to three meters, so we're happy with that."
Closer Weekly noted that, last September, one of Amal's colleagues was stabbed by masked assailants. The Human Rights Lawyer also claimed that Egyptian officials threatened to jail her for criticizing their legal system.
"George absolutely worries about Amal's safety," a source said. "He wants to protect her from any kind of threat - big or small. George realizes it's the nature of her business, but it unnerves him."
Amal and George Clooney met with German chancellor Angela Merkel to talk about Europe's growing refugee crisis last month. They discussed the issues with Europe's greatest refugee crisis since World War II. The German chancellery shared a photo of the meeting.
Former British foreign secretary, David Miliband, who is now the head of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), also joined the discussion.
