Hundreds of protesters have staged a rally in Hong Kong to urge the city's government not to extradite American whistleblower Edward Snowden, and slam the US for its surveillance programs. Mr Snowden, 29, has gone to ground in Hong Kong after blowing the whistle on America's vast electronic surveillance operation and has vowed to fight any extradition request. Hong Kong's first major demonstration on the issue saw pro-democracy politicians, activists and a large number of expatriates march to the US consulate. They held banners and shouted "Defend Free Speech", "Protect Snowden" and "No Extradition".
