NSA 'snoopgate' whistleblower Edward Snowden who is hiding in Hong Kong in an attempt to escape US prosecution said that he will be furnishing more details about the US surveillance targets soon.
According to News.com.au, Snowden in an exclusive interview to the Hong Kong media said that he is going to fight the US extradition and will allow the Hong Kong government to decide his fate.
Snowden was earlier feared missing from the state owing to Hong Kong's own extradition treaty in force since 1998.
However, Snowden said that he is not in Hong Kong to hide from justice but to reveal 'criminality'.
According to the report, Hong Kong, which is a former British colony that retained its separate legal system when it returned to Chinese rule in 1997, has not received any formal extradition requests made by the US.
Snowden has been accused of violation of the Espionage Act as he leaked classified information about US surveillance targeting citizens' user data on web and phone overlooking legal procedures.
