Venezuela and all states in the region to grant asylum to those persecuted for their ideals or their struggles for democratic rights," Raul Castro said in a speech to Cuba's national assembly.
Venezuela and Cuban may have a political incentive to give refuge to Edward Snowden since the United States has repeatedly denied extradition requests for Cuban born Venezuelan Luis Clemente Faustino Posada Carriles. Carriles is a fugitive wanted for numerous bombings in Cuban and the downing of a Cubana Airlines jet that killed 73 people.
