Whereabouts are being kept secret for "security reasons."

Edward Snowden has been granted one-year temporary asylum in Russia and reportedly left the Moscow airport he's been staying in since June 23.

Snowden was in Sheremetyevo International Airport and can now enter Russian territory. “I have just handed over to him papers from the Russian Immigration Service. They are what he needs to leave the transit zone,” Snowden's lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, said, according to the RT network.

"Snowden's whereabouts will be kept secret for security reasons," an Associated Press report that also quotes Kucherena says.

While the US wanted Snowden extradited to face prosecution for espionage and theft of government property, Russian President Vladimir Putin promised asylum to Snowden as long as he stops leaking US secrets. Snowden, a former contractor for the National Security Agency, leaked information about how the US government conducts mass surveillance.

WikiLeaks, which has helped Snowden since his rise to public prominence, confirmed on Twitter that "Edward Snowden was granted temporary asylum in Russia for a year and has now left Moscow airport under the care of WikiLeaks' Sarah Harrison."

There's no word yet on what will happen after Snowden's one year of asylum is up. "We have won the battle—now the war," the WikiLeaks Twitter account said.

This is the time for brave men and women to do the right thing rather than follow corrupt laws. I'm not endorsing anarchy in any way, simply saying that we can no longer turn a blind eye to corruption, in any government. Snowden will be remembered in history as a hero eventually but for now, he is despised by the USA government obviously. It's people like Manning and Snowden that are there to let us know just how bad the wars are, on a very human level. We are all human beings and God (Jehovah, Jesus, Allah, YHWH) made us with freedom in our hearts; with the will to not hurt one another. Over time however we have all been changed and corrupted in some way, even in little ways.

We need to find our hearts for each other or this world will not be inhabitable soon (30-100 years from now).
