Whistleblower Edward Snowden Life is recently being threatened by unnamed Pentagon officials.
Kucherena said ," statements call for physical reprisal against Edward Snowden".
Edward Snowden who was a former contractor of National Security Agency is wanted by US authorities on treason charges for disclosing details of a vast Washington intelligence operation that monitored millions of phone calls and emails across the world.
He went to Russia to seek for temporary asylum in the month of August.
This aggravated the US and Obama cancelled the summit with Russia 's Vladimir Putin.
At the age of 30 he went into hiding and started taking Russian language classes.
"We think that the US government must take note of such statements," the lawyer said.
"The people who make extremist statements do so while wearing a mask — they do not reveal their identities.
Snowden's legacy has been mixed in the United States. It has prompted Obama to announce a review of intelligence practises last week that included an end to the highly controversial monitoring of calls of leaders.
