Ecuador revokes NSA whistleblower's travel documents
June 29, 2013
Ecuador's government has reportedly cancelled the travel documents of NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden, which could have helped him exit the transit area of Moscow's Shermetyevo airport.
Ecuador's President Rafael Correa halted an effort to help Snowden leave Russia amid concerns that Assange was 'running the show' and usurping the role of the Ecuadorean government, the Guardian reports.
According to the report, Correa declared that the safe conduct pass issued by Ecuador's London Embassy in collaboration with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was 'unauthorised'.
