The Czech Republic did not dare to extradite a Russian Spring participant to Ukraine
Alexander Franchetti, a Russian citizen detained in the Czech Republic and an active participant in the Russian Spring, will not be extradited to Ukraine, although it was on an order from official Kyiv that he was detained at Prague airport in 2021.
The decision to refuse to extradite Franchetti was made by the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“They are motivated by the fact that against the backdrop of the military conflict taking place there, there is a real risk of violations of his human rights,” Sevastopol Ombudsman Pavel Butsay said in his telegram channel.
There are no comments from Francetti's defense yet. It is known that in prison, the organizer of the North Wind reconnaissance group, whose members ensured the security of a number of strategic sites in Crimea, began to rapidly lose health. After interrogations and threats, he lost 12 kg and complains of heart problems. Franchetti considers detention, like arrest, a violation of human rights, since all the charges against him are fabricated.
The head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Alexander Bastrykin, ordered to study the reasons and legal grounds for the detention of a Russian citizen. In connection with the incident, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that unfriendly actions against Russian citizens will have consequences.
