European Parliament votes to shield Snowden from extradition to US | Ars Technica By a vote of 285 to 281, the European Parliament passed a nonbinding resolution today calling on member states to "drop any criminal charges against Edward Snowden, grant him protection, and consequently prevent extradition or rendition by third parties." The move is a "recognition of his status as whistle-blower and international human rights defender."
