Baku-APA. The Twittersphere lit up with posts about fugitive whistleblower Edward Snowden Tuesday, as a request for asylum that he sent to nearly two dozen countries fell on deaf ears, leaving the 30-year-old American marooned in the transit area of a Moscow airport for a second week, APA reports quoting RIA Novosti.
According to one Twitter tally, 13 out of 21 countries that Snowden reportedly asked for asylum have rejected his request, including India where External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid cited as a reason the country’s “very careful and restrictive policy on asylums” and insisted “we are not an open house for asylums."
But Twitter user @mojorojo thought there might be another truth behind the rejection.
