July 15, 2013 14:35

Edward Snowden, the fugitive intelligence leaker wanted by the United States, has still not applied for temporary asylum in Russia. Snowden made his first public statement in nearly three weeks last Friday as he met with a group of Russian rights activists and pro-Kremlin figures in the Moscow airport where he had been marooned since June 23 after flying in from Hong Kong.

However he has made no further public statement and has not yet filed the asylum application with the Russian authorities that he told the activists he would be making Friday evening.
