March 5, 2015

(Reuters) – Edward Snowden, the fugitive former U.S. spy agency contractor who leaked details of mass U.S. surveillance programs, said on Wednesday he is not being offered a fair trial if he returns to the United States.

“I would love to go back and face a fair trial, but unfortunately … there is no fair trial available, on offer right now” he said from Russia in a live question and answer discussion organized by Canadian Journalists. “I’ve been working exhaustively with the government now since I left to try to find terms of a trial” he said. On Tuesday, his Russian lawyer had said that Snowden has been working with American and German lawyers on a way to return to the United States.
