Edward Snowden will stay at Sheremetyevo Airport as Russian authorities review the fugitive American’s asylum bid, extending his monthlong confinement in the transit zone, his Moscow-based lawyer said.
Snowden, who arrived from Hong Kong on June 23, is awaiting a document from the Federal Migration Service that will enable him to cross Russia’s border and exit the airport, Anatoly Kucherena told reporters in Moscow yesterday after leaving the transit zone where he met with Snowden.
