NSA surveillance whistle-blower Edward Snowden hiding in Hong Kong
Monday, 10 June, 2013 [Updated: 9:42AM]
One of America's most consequential whistleblowers, Edward Snowden, has come out of hiding in Hong Kong on Monday.
The 29-year-old employee of defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton has revealed his identity and location to The Guardian in a series of interviews published today.
"I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong," he told the British daily.
On May 20, he left his home in Hawaii for Hong Kong, where has been staying at an unnamed "plush hotel" ever since, running up high bills and leaving the room "maybe a total of three times".
He chose the city, because Hong Kong had "a spirit commitment to free speech and the right of political dissent," he told the Guardian.
"I think it is really tragic that an American has to move to a place that has a reputation for less freedom," he said. "Still, Hong Kong has a reputation for freedom in spite of the People's Republic of China."
Snowden feared that he would be taken away by the Chinese government for questioning over his extensive expertise in US intelligence gathering technology or "rendered" to the CIA or third-party partners.
US government sources have told the Reuters news agency last week that they are likely to initiate a criminal investigation into the leak.
To prevent being spied on, Snowden reportedly stuffs pillows against the doors and “puts a large red hood over his head and laptop when entering his passwords.
Information leaked by Snowden was reported by the Guardian and the Washington Post last week. He had singlehandedly exposed a massive US intelligence programme called Prism, under which the US government secretly collected information online from private user accounts operated by Facebook, Google, Apple and other companies.
Snowden said he hoped the Hong Kong government would not deport him. "My predisposition is to seek asylum in a country with shared values. The nation that most encompasses this is Iceland. They stood up for people over internet freedom. I have no idea what my future is going to be," he told the Guardian.

美國中情局洩密者:相信香港有言論自由
香港電台 – 1小時48分前
揭發美國情報機關秘密收集電話紀錄和監控互聯網活動的消息來源曝光,他是29歲的前中情局技術助理斯諾登,他目前藏身於香港一間酒店。
最先報道事件的英國《衞報》說,斯諾登要求公開身份,他受僱於美國一間國防承包商,上月20日飛抵香港。他表示,選擇到香港,認為這裡有言論自由,能維護不同政見人士的權益,雖然內地對言論自由有嚴格限制,但相信香港沒有過濾互聯網內容。
斯諾登明白洩密風險,甚至可能遭到中情局報復及被跟蹤,但並不後悔,希望公開消息後可以尋求庇護。 |
