Show of support for Edward Snowden in Hong Kong

Hundreds of people have marched to the US consulate in Hong Kong to support Edward Snowden, the ex-CIA worker who leaked secret US surveillance details.

Mr Snowden was last seen in Hong Kong, where he travelled prior to publication of the Guardian newspaper's stories revealing the extent of the National Security Agency's (NSA) programme to take data from US internet and telephone firms.

Protesters carried placards and chanted pro-Snowden slogans.
