Snowden Applies For Temporary Asylum In Russia -- RIA Novosti
MOSCOW, July 31 (RIA Novosti) – Fugitive NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has applied to have his temporary asylum in Russia extended for another year, his lawyer Anatoly Kucherena said Thursday.
“Edward is still in Russia, we have recently prepared and submitted a package of documents to receive a temporary political asylum," LifeNews TV quoted the lawyer as saying.
Kucherena said Snowden’s request should be resolved “today or tomorrow." “If this is issue not resolved, we will clear up the situation,” the lawyer added.
“As Edward’s documents have been accepted, he must wait for a decision from the Federal Migration Service,” his lawyer said.
