MOSCOW, October 29 – RIA Novosti. The adoption of the European Parliament resolution calling to stop the persecution of Edward Snowden will not be enthusiastically received in the US, said a member of the Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, former Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the European communities Vasily Likhachev.
Earlier, the press service of the Assembly stated that the parliamentarians called on EU member states “to abandon any prosecution Snowden, to provide him with protection and thus prevent his extradition or return of a third party – a sign recognition of his status as an informant about the dangers and the international human rights defender “.
Likhachev believes that the adoption of the resolution can be considered” good news “, and not by accident previously put forward ideas to introduce Snowden for Nobel Peace Prize.
“No doubt this news will not be enthusiastically received in Washington, especially in the US intelligence services. I think that she will not find supporters who could support in the political space among the individual members of NATO. This resolution shows that still in democracy Europe can take sometimes, rarely, unfortunately, but principled position, “- said the source.
The former employee of the US intelligence Edward Snowden unveiled in 2013 data showing that the US National Security Agency (NSA) massively spied not only for EU citizens but also a number of European leaders.
