FUGITIVE US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden has requested a meeting with leading rights activists and lawyers at the airport in Moscow where he has been stuck in transit for the past three weeks, Interfax news agency reports.
The agency said those invited included representatives of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Prominent Moscow lawyer Genrikh Padva confirmed to AFP that he had received such an invitation for a meeting at the airport Friday afternoon.
"We received such a letter from him and the Moscow airport telephoned as well," Padva said, adding he did not believe he would have time to attend.
Sergei Nikitin, head of Amnesty International's Russia office, confirmed the meeting.
Nikitin said Amnesty International received an email inviting his group and "we are planning to go".
Elena Panfilova of Transparency International said the "somewhat unexpected" invitation was being discussed.
Panfilova said the email had come from an apparently secure email address in Snowden's name.
Snowden is thought to be holed up at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport.
A source at Sheremetyevo airport where the fugitive has spent the last three weeks told Interfax earlier that the former intelligence employee wanted to make an announcement to the activists and lawyers.
"He wants to express his opinion about the manic campaign of the persecution against him unleashed by the United States which means that passengers on flights to Latin America are in danger," the source told the agency.
The source did not give further details but leftist Latin American states such as Venezuela and Ecuador are seen as the most likely destination for Snowden to seek asylum.
