He faces US charges that could land him in prison for up to 30 years. Snowden spoke yesterday at the New Hampshire Liberty Forum, heavily attended by libertarians. He has previously spoken of making offers to the government to return home and even go to jail. Yesterday he said he asked for a guarantee of a fair trial where he can make “a public interest defense” then have jurors decide his case. AP
