Assange about to ‘tell us where he is’.
Paul Owen has more from the Assange call. Assange said he knows where Snowden is and “his spirits are high.”
The current status of Mr Snowden and Ms [Sarah] Harrrison [of Wikileaks, who travelled with him from Hong Kong]: both are health and safe and they are in contact with their legal team. I can’t give further information as to their whereabouts or present circumstances other than to say that the matter is in hand.
He added:
We are aware of where Edward Snowden is. He is in a safe place and his spirits are high. Due to the bellicose threats coming from the US administration we cannot go into further detail at this time.
Unfortunately we cannot reveal what country he is in at this time.
