On Wednesday, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and others will launch a support campaign for Edward Snowden asking US President Barack Obama to give him a favor.
Snowden, after the seizures that caused seismic vibrations across the online community, has been living in Russia since June of 2013, where he was granted temporary asylum. Since then, Snowden has renewed his residence permit in Russia every year.
So it seems that the famous whistleblower is seeking to obtain permanent asylum elsewhere, while at the same time trying to stay away from the government And the secret services of the USA. In case restitutionof his in his country will face charges for espionage and will be judged.
Surprisingly - or perhaps not - the campaign for Snowden is set to begin two days before the official premiere of Oliver Stone's "Snowden".
According to Snowden's attorney and ACLU member Ben Wizner:
I think Oliver will do more for Snowden in two hours than his lawyers have done within three years.
We will launch a massive collection of signatures around the world and we will try to have prominent people and organizations in our call to President Obama to give thanks to Snowden before leaving the presidency.
The idea sounds very good, and there may not have been a better timing and timing for its implementation. But we should think that the exemplary punishment of each Snowden is aimed somewhere. Somewhere there are no human rights and political freedoms.
