“Hong Kong said in a statement that it allowed Snowden to leave despite an extradition request from the U.S. because documents provided by the U.S. government did not ‘fully comply with the legal requirements under Hong Kong law.’ It said there was no legal basis to stop Snowden from leaving, and the U.S. had been informed of his departure. Hong Kong also said it had asked the U.S. to clarify reports, based on interviews with Snowden, that the NSA had hacked into computers in Hong Kong and would follow up on the matter ‘to protect the legal rights of the people of Hong Kong.'”
