Ecuador mulls Snowden asylum, in touch with Russia
None
Ecuador is reviewing Edward Snowden's asylum request and will make a decision on the former US intelligence contractor "in due time" based on human rights considerations above all, Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said on Monday.
The South American nation's leftist government is in "respectful" contact with Russia but also taking into account the US government's position on the case, Patino told reporters during a visit to Vietnam. (Reuters)
