Interesting article about his background but it avoids the big issue. Secretly selling state secrets to enemies of one's country is treason. So is giving the secrets away to those enemies, to advance their cause. However, this is 100% totally different from revealing war crimes to journalists who then publicly reveal the information.

It is lawful, however that does not stop criminal states who commit war crimes from punishing, imprisoning, torturing and killing the heroes who risk their own lives to reveal the truth of crimes against humanity that are illegally and immorally being committed by the state. This soldier is a hero and a martyr. The state is proving itself the enemy in this case, and it is an enemy of the people. In this case, it was not treason but patriotism. It is the state who has committed treason because war crimes are treason against the people.
