The Us and HK ( China) have signed an extradition treaty on December 20, 1996,Mr. Snowden is fugitive from Justice ,he never showed any sign of human rights violation he just took some files who shake the world with him and go, if he was a Russian, Latin American or any other nation fugitive he would have been jailed .
Any country in the world is doing electronic surveillance to protect national interest and veil international security, the all world is distressed by this matter who is purely a Police matter ,in Russia someone who took American confidential file is not a criminal because he did not pay them …..but such sensitive file would affect the security of all Asia , the world maybe and in future can cause security loophole , the United States diplomatically they are doing the right to prosecute is own citizen has any other country would ,Interpol watching list must be respected has the international community is watching from all over the world that justice is done ,all other political matters would be resolved later by the respective leaders of sovereign nations in concern , China a such big power should never be supressed by a Latin American influence who they never did anything for Human rights in the past, my respect to the Chinese Authority always has China is a great nation.
International Law Expert
Mr. CALIGULA or Prof. Caligiuri or by any other name, your phony title fools no one. From your incoherent speech and writing skills, I place your educational level somewhere between 4th and 5th grade.
After rendering this teacher's verdict, I hope other readers won't waste any more time on rebuttals.
"Interpol watching list must be respected"

Snowden was never on any Interpol watch list. You pretty much lost all credibility by making that statement. Interpol has issued NO RED NOTICE against Snowden. Interpol considers espionage a political crime

So much for being an "international law expert" when you can't even keep track of the fact that there's no Interpol notice.

I really hope you aren't a real professor because you are truly doing your students a disservice.

What about the fact that the US government is trampling all over our rule of law by illegally spying on our citizens? The kind of people that are crawling out of the woodwork to defend the USA are truly unbelievable!
This Snowden fiasco has at least done one thing which no Hong Kong leader was able to do, that is both the pan democrats and the Bejing loyalist lawmakers are united (in condemning the US). Keep this up and Hong Kong will be more prosperous.
Yeah I hope it keeps up too. All things considered, HK is a pretty free place. The USA has a fake democracy where voters basically have the choice of two Presidential candidates, and that's it. Even if Americans vote in the opposition candidate, the same old terrible policies continue with the new administration and any election promises are quickly broken.

If Beijing is pragmatic enough to allow at least one non provocative pan democrat to stand in the 2017 election, then HK will truly have a democracy that'll meet international standards.
Hey man, you're putting in a real good day's work at the wu mao factory, keep it up!

How are those illegal structures doing? Is the rule of law applying?
Nice try NSA agent.
This egomaniac was making it all about himself in another article related to Snowden by complaining that his rights were violated by the hospital authority. Yeah sure buddy.

Also maybe you should also ask the british colonial government on why they weren't enforcing illegal structures laws either. Besides private property protections trump any kind of law relating to illegal structures. Also please don't confuse civil infractions with giving someone accused of a political crime due process!

Regardless, no matter how much bile you spew, HK has far greater respect for the rule of law than the USA. The USA has no respect for the rule of law and will routinely play fast and loose with the law if they think they can get away with it. Well this time the USA was caught red handed!
