Former NSA intelligence contractor Edward Snowden met with representatives from international human rights groups in Moscow’s airport this morning, to announce that he will formally seek asylum in Russia until he secures safe passage to Venezuela, where he has already been granted humanitarian asylum. He asked rights groups Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, to help protect him from what he called extra-legal attempts by the US to interfere. The news comes with new reports that reveal mass information-sharing between the company Microsoft and the US government. FSRN’s Alice Ollstein reports.
