The European Parliament has voted to grant amnesty to Edward Snowden, the former US government contractor who revealed the depth of the country’s surveillance programs back in 2013. By a vote of 285 to 281, the European Parliament is recommending that the 28 states of the EU “drop any criminal charges against Edward Snowden, grant him protection and consequently prevent extradition or rendition by third parties, in recognition of his status as whistle-blower and international human rights defender”.
