Moscow, July 19 (RHC)-- The Guardian newspaper has released video from a new interview with National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden.  Snowden describes a culture within the NSA of young male co-workers routinely sharing intimate details they intercept that are not related to investigations — such as nude photographs of people they find attractive.

In related news, the United Nations’ top human rights official has suggested Edward Snowden should not face trial.  Navi Pillay, the UN high commissioner for human rights, said Snowden had exposed violations and sparked a global debate about privacy, saying that "we owe it to him for drawing our attention to this issue."

Pillay added that in light of Snowden’s disclosure of U.S. spying on the United Nations, she cannot be sure that she is not the target of surveillance. 
Snowden recently applied to extend his one-year asylum in Russia, which expires at the end of the month.  On Wednesday, Russia said it expects to grant Snowden’s request within a week.
