Edward Snowden’s lawyer says the NSA whistleblower has been granted permission to stay in Russia for three more years.
Snowden last year was granted temporary asylum of one year in Russia, but that ran out on August 1.
His lawyer, Analtoly Kucherena, was quoted by Russian news agencies on Thursday as saying Snowden now has been granted residency for three more years, but that he had not been granted political asylum. That status, which would allow him to stay in Russia permanently, must be decided by a separate procedure, Mr Kucherena said, but didn’t say whether Snowden is seeking it.
