The former CIA analyst, Edward Snowden, was not on board the Aeroflot plane that arrived to La Habana last Thursday night, as reported by a member of the crew.

Those statements were supported by a producer of Ruptly international news agency, who said he did not see Snowden among the passengers.

Whole facing this background the deputy director of Human Rights Watch, Tatiana Lókshima, told Interfax that “yes, he is seeking asylum in Russia. He wants to stay here (in Russia) until he can fly to Latin America.” A meeting followed this with other activists and the pursued former CIA analyst in the transit terminal at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow.
