Assange said yesterday that Snowden was ‘healthy and safe’, but would not offer any further insight into where the 29-year-old was or when and how they had spoken. ‘If we lived in a better world we would be able to go into those details. Unfortunately, we live in a world, as illuminated by Mr Snowden, where most communications are intercepted unlawfully.'”
