Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro
said on Friday he had decided to offer asylum to former U.S.
intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, who has petitioned
several countries to avoid capture by Washington.
"I have decided to offer humanitarian asylum to the young
American, Edward Snowden, so that in the fatherland of (Simon)
Bolivar and (Hugo) Chavez, he can come and live away from the
imperial North American persecution," Maduro told a televised
parade marking Venezuela's independence day.
Snowden is believed to be holed up in the transit area of a
Moscow international airport.What are your thoughts? |
