Norway appeals court rejects Edward Snowden extradition lawsuit

Oslo, 28 Sept. - (ANA) - A Norwegian appeals court has rejected a lawsuit from former U.S. spy contractor Edward Snowden against the Norwegian government, upholding the verdict of a lower court, it said on Wednesday.

Snowden's law firm said in April he would take the state to court to secure free passage to the Nordic country, but the Oslo District Court dismissed the case in June. - (ANA) -
