Snowden should seek refuge then, Assange argued, until he feels he would be ‘afforded justice’ upon his return to the United States. The NSA leaker remains in Russia while he tries to find asylum in another country. That has been complicated by the U.S. revocation of his passport, an act Assange described as ‘disgraceful.'”
