Edward Snowden: ACLU and Amnesty seek presidential pardon

12 September 2016 US & Canada

Two of the most prominent human rights organisations in the United States are about to launch a campaign for the presidential pardon of Edward Snowden.

The American Civil Liberties Union and Amnesty International are ready to launch the "Pardon Snowden" campaign.

They are urging President Barack Obama to act before he leaves office in January 2017.

The launch this week coincides with the release of an Oliver Stone biopic about the former NSA contractor.

The campaign group has created a website, pardonsnowden.org, though its content remains behind a password-protected login. The campaign has also registered social media accounts in preparation for the launch.

1. Was about to post that.

I think that the best he can hope for is some sort of deal to leave him alone. Ironically, such an agreement would have to be secret. That would allow him to migrate to another country and move around without fear of being abducted or extradited.
He cannot and won't be pardoned.
