(CNN) -- American intelligence leaker Edward Snowden applied for temporary asylum in Russia on Tuesday, Russian lawyer Anatoly Kucherena told CNN.
WikiLeaks, a group that facilitates the anonymous leaking of secret information through its website, also posted on its official Twitter account Tuesday that Snowden applied for a "temporary protection visa" in the country. Snowden is charged with espionage in the United States and apparently has been holed up in Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport for about three weeks.
