Edward Snowden's father says his son

could return to back to the US if certain

conditions are met, NBC reports. Snowden

wants to remain at large before trial and

choose where it would take place. The

father insists his NSA-leaker son was manipulated.

Edward Snowden also would like prosecutors not to file a so-called

gag order, which bans information or any comments from being

made public, Lonnie Snowden said.

The channel reports Snowden Snr. intends to send a letter to the US

Justice Department and attorney General Eric Holder through his

lawyer later on Friday.

Lonnie Snowden, who has not spoken to his son since April, believes

his son was manipulated by third parties, including WikiLeaks.

I think WikiLeaks, if you've looked at past history, you know, their

focus isn't necessarily the Constitution of the United States. It's simply

to release as much information as possible, Snowden Snr. told NBCs

Today.

Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee and ex-staff member of a

private contractor working for the NSA, fled the United States to

Hong Kong in May prior to disclose secret documents about US

surveillance.

Snowden was charged with espionage by US federal prosecutors on

Friday and currently remains in Moscows Sheremetyevo Airport

transit zone after he left Hong Kong for Russia.

There have been reports that Snowden was supposed to head to

Havana, Cuba, and then to Ecuador, which is considering to approve

him political asylum.

But Ecuador says it cannot grant asylum to Edward Snowden until he

reaches any ofits diplomatic premises,i.e. the country itself or the

embassy.

"Forthat to happen a country would have to allow him to enter itsterritory, which has not come about yet," Ecuador President Rafael

Correa said at a news conference in the Los Rios province.

However, entering Ecuadorian soil, including the embassy in Moscow

is now impossible for Snowden. The US government has revoked his

passport, meaning he neither has a Russian visa nor can he buy a new

flight ticket to Ecuador or Havana, a second transit point.

Officials have confirmed that on June 22 the Ecuadorean Embassy in

London had issued a letter of safe passage for Snowden that called

on other countries to allow him to travel to asylum in Ecuador. But

the letter was said to be invalid because it was issued without the

approval of the government in the capital, Quito, according to

Secretary of Political Management Betty Tola.
