Assange hails Edward Snowden’s asylum in Russia
Assange has been living in the Ecuadorean London for more than a year after seeking asylum there to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning over alleged sexual assault.
His comments come after Russia granted asylum to former National Security Agency analyst Edward Snowden. He escaped the US Government with the support of the WikiLeaks organisation.
