CRI听力:Snowden Wants to Return Home: Lawyer

2015-03-04来源:CRI

The Russian lawyer representing former NSA employee Edward Snowden has revealed he's now working with both American and German lawyers for the possibility of seeing Snowden return to the United States.

Snowden is facing numerous charges in the United States for revealing details of the U.S. government's mass surveillance programmes.

He's been living in Russia under asylum since 2013.

Anatoly Kucherena is Snowden's Russian lawyer.

"Of course I won't keep it secret that he is considering and wants to return back home. And we are doing everything possible now to solve this issue. There is a group of U.S. lawyers, there is also a group of German lawyers and I'm dealing with it on the Russian side."

Moscow's harboring of Snowden has been one of a number of sticking points in the already-tense relationship between the US and Russia.

Snowden has said he would be willing to return to the United States, provided he would be given a fair trial.
