Former US intelligence analyst Edward Snowden is in such danger that he cannot even visit or talk to his family members, his lawyer Anatoly Kucherena says.
Kucherena, who has become Snowden’s unofficial spokesman, says Snowden is living under guard and has avoided any media contacts since arriving in Russia on a Hong Kong flight in June, AFP reports.
