| 2013-07-07 |
| [BBC.CO.UK] The presidents of Nicaragua, Venezuela and Bolivia have indicated their countries could offer political asylum to US runaway Edward Snowden. Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro said it would give asylum to the intelligence leaker, who is believed to be holed up in a transit area of Moscow airport. Meanwhile Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega said his country would do so "if circumstances permit". Bolivia's Evo Morales said Mr Snowden could get asylum there if he sought it. Mr Snowden has sent requests for political asylum to at least 21 countries, most of which have turned down his request. Earlier, Wikileaks said he had applied to six additional countries on Friday. |
