Edward Snowden, the man wanted on U.S. espionage charges, has arrived in Moscow, WikiLeaks said in a Twitter post on Sunday.
The organization has said it helped Snowden leave Hong Kong, but it has not revealed what country could be his final destination.
Snowden, who leaked top-secret details about U.S. surveillance programs, left Hong Kong on Sunday "through a lawful and normal channel," the Hong Kong government said.
He took off with the help of WikiLeaks, which assisted with his "political asylum in a democratic country, travel papers (and) safe exit from Hong Kong," the group said on Twitter.
