Snowden had been reported as staying in Hong Kong at the time of the NSA leak, where the United States’ Government followed up by requesting the city to detain him for charges of "unauthroized communication of national defense information" and "willful communication of classified communications intellengence information to an unauthorized person" among others.

On Sunday afternoon, the Hong Kong government replied that Snowden had left their city and country of his own accord, for a third country. While Snowden’s final destination is still unclear, his Aeroflot flight from Hong Kong landed at Sheremetyevo International Airport in Russia, earlier on Sunday.

News sources say that Snowden is being aided with help of wikileaks and a UK journalist, Sarah Harrison.

From the Washington Post: 

Snowden is being aided in his travel by WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy organization that published hundreds of thousands of classified documents. The group posted on Twitter about 5 a.m. EDT that Snowden was “currently over Russian airspace accompanied by WikiLeaks legal advisors.” The organization later said Snowden was accompanied on his flight to Moscow by Sarah Harrison, who the organization said is a UK citizen, journalist and legal researcher working with the WikiLeaks legal defense team.

Snowden has drawn comparisons to Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private who provided the secret files to WikiLeaks.

“The WikiLeaks legal team and I are interested in preserving Mr. Snowden’s rights and protecting him as a person,” said Baltasar Garzon, legal director of WikiLeaks and lawyer for Julian Assange, the group’s founder who has spent the past year holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. “What is being done to Mr. Snowden and to Mr. Julian Assange — for making or facilitating disclosures in the public interest — is an assault against the people.”

While the laws are still being settled on Snowden’s legal rights for foreign travel during his arrest warrant, his course is still being tracked and pursued. Hong Kong is still concerned about computer hacking from the United States that may have provided incorrect information on Snowden, and the matter has yet to have been resolved.
