Snowden in Hong Kong: “I Am Here to Reveal Criminality”

HeadlineJun 13, 2013

National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden remains in Hong Kong after publicly admitting to leaking information on massive U.S. government surveillance days ago. Snowden had briefly dropped out of public view after coming forward, but on Wednesday re-emerged with an interview in the South China Morning Post. Snowden said he intends to stay in Hong Kong until asked to leave, and vowed to fight any extradition attempt by the U.S. government. Snowden said: “I am not here to hide from justice; I am here to reveal criminality.”
