MOSCOW: Edward Snowden, the fugitive whistleblower who has been given refuge in Russia, is willing to return to the United States if he is given a fair trial, his lawyer said Tuesday. He is thinking about it. He has a desire to return and we are doing everything we can to make it happen, Anatoly Kucherena, the Russian lawyer who represents the former National Security Agency contractor, told a news conference. Snowden was given political asylum in Russia in the summer of 2013 after the US revoked his passport. He now leads a reclusive life there. With a group of lawyers from other countries, we are working on the question of his return to America, Kucherena said. <\/p>\n

Snowden is ready to return to the States, but on the condition that he is given a guarantee of a legal and impartial trial, he said. The lawyer said Snowden had so far only received a guarantee from the US Attorney General that he will not face the death penalty. He said that Snowden is able to travel outside Russia since he has a three-year Russian residency permit, but I suspect that as soon as he leaves Russia, he will be taken to the US embassy. Kucherenas comments came at a presser where he presented a thriller loosely based on his encounters with Snowden. US filmmaker Oliver Stone has bought the rights to the book as he prepares to shoot a biopic about Snowden starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. <\/p>\n
