He sought temporary asylum in the    country after fleeing the US in May 2013. The NSA contractor    faces charges in the US for leaking details of mass government    surveillance.    According to Anatoly Kucherena, Snowdens lawyer, official    paperwork has been submitted to Russias federal Migration    Service, asking for an extension of Edward Snowdens visa.    His one year permit allowing him to stay in Russia ends on the    31st of July, so that expiry date is looming.    His lawyer has refused to say how long Snowden has asked to    stay in Russia, nor whether he is looking to receive Russian    citizenship.    The NSA whistleblower was stranded at a Moscow airport last    year on his way from Hong Kong to Cuba. His asylum in Russia    has angered the US, as it is seeking his extradition, so that    he can stand trial for charges against him relating to the    leaking of the National Security agencies use of phonetaps,    which sparked an international scandal.    Since arriving in Russia he has kept relatively a low profile,    whether he will be granted an extension of asylum is now in the    hands of the migration service.    If they do decide to extend Snowdens stay, its a move that    will likely further anger the US and further damage the    relationship between Moscow and Washington. --Xinhua      <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Here is the original post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thestandard.com.hk\/breaking_news_detail.asp?id=51652\/RK=0\/RS=1DOWfv0F.hyeLu8ZCWNfUrfE1pM-\" title=\"Snowden faces several charges in US\">Snowden faces several charges in US<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> (07-11 11:32) The lawyer for Edward Snowden, the National Security Agency whistle blower, has confirmed that his client has applied to extend his stay in Russia. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-edward-snowden"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24768"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24768\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
