Edward Snowden has finally found a country that will take him in.
In fact, he's got three.
Presidents Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, Evo Morales of Bolivia and Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela announced Friday night that they would grant NSA leaker Edward Snowden asylum in their nations, according to USA Today.
Snowden has spent the last week and a half seeking refuge anywhere that will take him-so far, he's been rejected from over 20 countries, including India, Brazil and Germany.
But three South American nations have stepped forward to take Snowden in.
"We have decided to offer humanitarian asylum to the American Edward Snowden to protect him from the persecution being unleashed by the world's most powerful empire," President Maduro announced before an army parade in the capital of Venezuela, celebrating the 202nd anniversary of the country's declaration of independence.
USA Today reported that Maduro stated Snowden's sole crime was revealing the truth.
Meanwhile, in Nicaragua, President Ortega claimed he, too, would offer asylum "if circumstances allow it."
Ortega did not mention what that circumstance might be during his speech in Managua.
"We have the sovereign right to help a person who felt remorse after finding out how the United States was using technology to spy on the whole world, and especially its European allies," he said.
The Bolivian president Evo Morales has echoed his neighbor's sentiments, albeit from a recent first hand encounter with the United States: Morales private jet was forced to land when officials heart word that Edward Snowden could have been hiding aboard.
Morales was furious at the grounding, claiming that the United States had sent out orders for his plane to be searched.
Now, as an act of protest against the U.S. and European nations, Morales has said that Snowden is welcome to live within his country's borders, CBS reported.
Morales did not specify whether or not Snowden had submitted a formal request for asylum.
Snowden is reportedly still at the airport in Moscow, Russia. He hasn't gone public with his decision of where his next move will be.
