A group of Sri Lankan and Filipino refugees in Hong Kong sheltered US whistleblower Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor, until he fled to Russia from Hong Kong. Ajith Puspakumara, a 44-year-old former Sri Lankan soldier and Supun Kellapatha had provided shelter to Snowden in 2013. The refugees told the CNN about their experiences and how they housed and hosted ‘the most wanted man.’
