Halya Coynash: Ukraine’s SBU abducts asylum seeker, takes her by force to Russia
Ukraine’s Security Service [SBU] have illegally seized a 26-year-old woman who had just applied for asylum in Kharkiv and forcibly taken her to Russia in a move which human rights activists have called treachery and which suggests a baffling degree of collaboration between Russia and Ukraine’s security services. The SBU effectively abducted her from the migration service and their claims that she ‘voluntarily’ left for Russia where she is very likely to face persecution bear no relation to the truth.
