Rafael Correa says Ecuador helped Edward Snowden by mistake

“Ecuador is not considering Edward Snowden’s asylum request and never intended to facilitate his flight from Hong Kong, president Rafael Correa said. Snowden was Russia’s responsibility and would have to reach Ecuadorean territory before the country would consider any asylum request, the president said. The president, speaking to the Guardian at the presidential palace in Quito, said his government did not intentionally help Snowden travel from Hong Kong to Moscow with a temporary travel pass. ‘It was a mistake on our part,’ he added, clashing with expressions of gratitude the 30-year-old fugitive issued hours later, before Correa’s views had been published.”
