華盛頓

向媒體洩漏了有關美國大規模電子監控計劃情報的前美國情報機構雇員愛德華‧斯諾登(Edward Snowden)在海外尋求政治避難,以躲避法律追究。斯諾登對周一(6月10日)一期的《華盛頓郵報》表示,他正設法在一個「信仰言論自由的國家」尋求政治避難,以捍衛個人隱私。斯諾登此前在英國《衛報》上透露,冰島是他可能的避難國,原因是,他認為,這個位於北大西洋北部地區的島國尤其注重保護新聞自由和言論自由。此前,斯諾登向《華盛頓郵報》和《衛報》分別提供了關於美國國家安全局(NSA)實施一項取名為PRISM的電子監控計劃的訊息。根據這一計劃,美國情報機構有權直接進入谷歌等網路巨頭的伺服器,對用戶實施全球監控。現年29歲的斯諾登是電腦專家,曾為美國中央情報局工作,以後受僱於國家安全局。斯諾登3周前逃往香港。美國國內已出現要求引渡斯諾登的呼聲。香港與美國之間簽有引渡協議。
