Edward Snowden loses Norway safe passage case

November 25, 2016 23:16

Edward Snowden's bid to guarantee that he would not be extradited to the US if he visited Norway has been rejected by the Norwegian supreme court.

The former spy contractor filed the lawsuit in April, attempting to secure safe passage to Norway to pick up a free speech award.

It had already been rejected by Oslo District court and an appeals court.

Snowden is a former National Security Agency analyst who leaked secret US surveillance details.

As a result, he is facing charges in the US which could put him in prison for up to 30 years.
