Members of the investigation committee for NSA spying activities in Germany wanted to hear Snowden as a witness. This request was blocked by the majority of committee members belonging to the current government parties, officially because they can not guarantee for Snowden's safety, supposedly because Snowden may reveal unpleasant facts about spying activities of the current or former governments. Opposition party members than went to court that now decided that also a minority can request to hear a witness. Now they are planing to again request hearing Snowden on Thursday in the next meeting of the committee. What follows we will see.
