Putin
floats idea of whistleblower remaining in the country Vladimir Putin
has for the first time floated the idea of United States whistleblower
Edward Snowden remaining in Russia, hours after the fugitive applied for
political asylum in the country.
Mr
Snowden applied for asylum at the consular office at Moscow’s
Sheremetyevo airport at 10:30pm last Sunday evening through his
WikiLeaks handler, Sarah Harrison, a consular official said.
“The
UK citizen Sarah Harrison passed on a request by Edward Snowden to be
granted political asylum,” said Kim Shevchenko, of the airport’s
consular department. He said he then called the foreign ministry, who
sent a courier an hour later to pick up the request.
