Dark moment for press freedom: Edward Snowden on Assange's arrest

Former US National Security Agency contractor and whistleblower Edward Snowden on Thursday described WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's arrest as a "dark moment for press freedom". Assange's arrest contravened a call by the United Nations to allow him to walk free from Ecuador's embassy, added Snowden who lives in asylum in Russia after he leaked classified US information in 2013.
