华盛顿

向媒体泄漏了有关美国大规模电子监控计划情报的前美国情报机构雇员爱德华·斯诺登(Edward Snowden)在海外寻求政治避难,以躲避法律追究。斯诺登对周一(6月10日)一期的《华盛顿邮报》表示,他正设法在一个“信仰言论自由的国家”寻求政治避难,以捍卫个人隐私。斯诺登此前在英国《卫报》上透露,冰岛是他可能的避难国,原因是,他认为,这个位于北大西洋北部地区的岛国尤其注重保护新闻自由和言论自由。此前,斯诺登向《华盛顿邮报》和《卫报》分别提供了关于美国国家安全局(NSA)实施一项取名为PRISM的电子监控计划的信息。根据这一计划,美国情报机构有权直接进入谷歌等网络巨头的服务器,对用户实施全球监控。现年29岁的斯诺登是电脑专家,曾为美国中央情报局工作,以后受雇于国家安全局。斯诺登3周前逃往香港。美国国内已出现要求引渡斯诺登的呼声。香港与美国之间签有引渡协议。
