Wikileaks founder Julian Assange - a refugee for almost a year at the Embassy of Ecuador in London - is recommending that Edward Snowden flee to Latin America after Snowden became the NSA whistleblower.

Assange knows something about secrets and what happens when they’re exposed.

“I would strongly advise him to go to Latin America,” Assange told CNN’s “AC360". “Latin America has shown in the past 10 years that it is really pushing forward in human rights. There’s a long tradition of asylum.”

Ecuador’s government granted him asylum in August, but British authorities have said they will arrest him if he leaves the premises.

Although most Latin American countries have extradition treaties with the U.S., many countries such as Cuba, Ecuador and Nicaragua have routinely become a haven for those seeking to avoid American prisons.

NSA whistleblower Snowden, whose whereabouts are unknown since he checked out of a trendy hotel in the Chinese territory of Hong Kong Tuesday, is said to be considering asylum in either China or Iceland.
