Assange: Snowden, Manning victims of Obama's war on whistleblowers

Edward Snowden and Wikileaks' Sarah Harrison who is accompanying him are "safe and healthy," Julian Assange said during a conference call broadcast by RT.

"The current status of Mr Snowden and Harrison is that both are healthy and safe and they are in contact with their legal teams," the WikiLeaks founder said. "I cannot give further information as to their whereabouts," Assange added.

"Snowden is not a traitor, he is not a spy he is a whistleblower who told the public the important truth," he pointed out.
