Snowden writes request for temporary asylum in Russia - Civic Chamber member Kucherena
Former CIA employee Edward Snowden has sent a request for temporary asylum in Russia to the Russian Federal Migration Service, Russian Civic Chamber member, lawyer Anatoly Kucherena told Interfax on Tuesday.
"Because Snowden cannot leave the transit area of Sheremetyevo [airport], he completed all necessary forms, wrote a request and gave it to a Russian Federal Migration Service employee invited there for that purpose," Kucherena said.
