US request for extradition of Edward Snowden - full text

No. 487

The Embassy of the United States of America presents its compliments to

the Ministry of Popular Power for External Relations of the Bolivarian Republic of

Venezuela an has the honor to request the provisional arrest for the purpose of

extradition of United States citizen Edward J. SNOWDEN, pursuant to the Treaty

and Additional Article between the United States of America and the United States

of Venezuela, signed on January 19 and 21, 1922 (the "Extradition Treaty&quot .



The United States seeks SNOWDEN's provisional arrest should SNOWDEN

seek to travel to or transit through Venezuela. SNOWDEN is a flight risk because

of the substantial charges he is facing and his current and active attempts to remain

a fugitive. The United States urges that SNOWDEN be kept in custody, if

arrested.

Fuck off United States of Global Corporations !!!!

No country should extradite anyone to the United States of Global Corporations.

They torture people and brag about it in books and on TV.

They still execute prisoners.

They kill their own citizens on foreign soil using drone attacks.

They torture people in their federal prisons and private prisons including juvenile facilities.

They teach people to torture at the School of Americas; aka WHINSEC: Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation.

They have 2.3 million people incarcerated.

The police have been militarized and given free rein.

They have a two tier justice system.

They do not abide by the Geneva Convention.

They are not members of the International Criminal Court.

They interfere with the elections of foreign countries and install their puppet dictators.

NO COUNTRY SHOULD EXTRADITE ANYONE TO THE UNITED STATES OF GLOBAL CORPORATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
