Granting Snowden: Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden: Snowden has applied for temporary asylum in Russia, three weeks after arriving at one of Moscows international airports from Hong Kong. The United States wants him sent home to face prosecution for espionage, according to 660 News. On a visit to the Siberian city of Chita on Wednesday, Putin said we have warned Mr. Snowden that any actions by him connected with harming Russian-American relations are unacceptable, according to Russian news agencies and MOSCOW President Vladimir Putin says NSA leaker Edward Snowden has been warned against taking any actions that would damage relations between Moscow and Washington. Granting Snowden asylum would add new tensions to U.S.-Russian relations already strained by criticism of Russias pressure on opposition groups, Moscows suspicion of U.S. missile-defence plans and Russias resistance to sanctions against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
