Snowden Liveblog: Temporary Asylum in Russia?
"Tell me about your plans to dedicate yourself to human rights work in Russia" said Putin as he posted a "selfie" of himself on twitter much to the delight of his fans.
10:48 EST: Snowden’s lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, continues to speak to RT.
Snowden is in good spirits, and has thanked, through Kucherena, the journalists who are covering his story “in an objective way.”
Kucherena stressed again the real concerns that he and Snowden share about security, even after Snowden receives asylum.
Kucherena then went on to say that Snowden has spent his free time (which he has plenty of) by studying the Russian language from a book Kucherena passed to him, and Snowden has already learned several words and phrases.
Kucherena then said that if Snowden is granted asylum, he will dedicate himself to human rights activism, a response to what he sees as a degradation of human rights.
