“A few hundred rights advocates and political activists marched through Hong Kong on Saturday to demand protection for Edward Snowden, who leaked revelations of U.S. electronic surveillance and is now believed to be holed up in the former British colony. ‘Arrest Obama, free Snowden,’ protesters shouted outside the slate grey building as police looked on. Many waved banners that said: ‘Betray Snowden, betray freedom’, ‘Big brother is watching you’ and ‘Obama is checking your email’. The city reverted to Chinese rule in 1997 but enjoys far more liberal laws on dissent and freedom of expression.”
