A native of Chechnya was deported from Lithuania.

Russian anti-war activist Ariadna Litvinova was deported from Turkey. On arrival in Russia, she was immediately detained on charges of ‘discrediting’ the army.

On July 4, Turkey deported Russian activist Ariadna Litvinova, who faces criminal charges in Russia for “discrediting” the army. The grounds for deportation were that Litvinova lacked the documents required to remain in the country. After she returned to Russia, a court ordered her remanded in custody.

Her case, reclassified under Russia’s “discrediting the army” law, is seen by rights lawyers as a precedent for using deportation rather than extradition against Kremlin critics abroad.
