Russia Granted Asylum to Edward J. Snowden



 Russia granted temporary asylum to Edward Joseph Snowden , an American computer specialist, who worked for the CIA and the NSA and leaked details of several top-secret United States and British government mass surveillance programs to the press.

He left  the United States prior to the publication of his disclosures to Hong Kong. Mean time,
United States federal prosecutors charged Snowden with espionage and theft of government property.  He later moved to Russia where he was given temporary asylum and moved to undisclosed location
