In Indonesia, the Ukrainian blogger Mikhail Oreshnikov was arrested on request for extradition from Russia. The Embassy of Ukraine in Indonesia and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine assured that the blogger’s case is under the special control of the departments.
Reports of the agency “Interfax-Ukraine”.
The Foreign Ministry said that according to the Ukrainian Embassy in Indonesia, Oreshnikov was detained on November 6. This happened at Sukarno-Khatta International Airport (Jakarta) at the request of the Interpol national central office of the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation.
According to preliminary data, a criminal case has been opened against the blogger in Russia on charges of causing bodily harm.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oreshnikov is a citizen of the Russian Federation and has not legally formalized his resignation from Russian citizenship.
He is now at the Jakarta police headquarters and is awaiting confirmation of the extradition request from the Russian side.
“On November 23, 2020, the Ukrainian Ambassador to Indonesia held a meeting with the leaders of the Interpol National Central Bureau in Indonesia, reported on cases of Russian abuse of Interpol tools to prosecute citizens on politically motivated charges and stressed the need for impartial consideration of the case. The diplomatic institution of Ukraine also sent a note to the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs “, – said in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
The Foreign Ministry also said that the Ukrainian consul visited Oreshnikov at the place of detention.
“Thanks to his assistance, the detainee held telephone conversations with his relatives. The consul also provided personal protective equipment. The detainee did not express any complaint about the conditions of detention or the state of health,” the ministry said.
Oreshnikov, a native of Cheboksary, is known for being a member of the Russian nationalist movement Restrukt and in 2014 appealed to the Ukrainian government for political asylum. He then said that a criminal case was being fabricated against him in Russia. In the same year he entered Ukraine and joined the Azov volunteer regiment.
