Foreign Ministry urges Russia to immediately release illegally detained Pavlo Hryb

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry urges Russia to immediately release 19-year-old Ukrainian citizen Pavlo Hryb, who is illegally detained in the Russian Federation.

Spokesperson for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Mariana Betsa reported this on Twitter.

"There is no justice in the Russian Federation ... Human life is worth nothing. We demand that the Russian Federation releases illegally detained Pavlo Hryb," she wrote.

Krasnodar Regional Court of the Russian Federation refused to release Pavlo Hryb under house arrest and left him in custody.

As reported, on August 24, 2017, 19-year-old citizen of Ukraine Pavlo Hryb was illegally detained on Belarusian territory and subsequently transferred to Russia, probably with the participation of FSB officers. The Russian authorities accuse Hryb of plotting a terrorist attack in school. A court in Krasnodar extended Hryb's arrest until January 4, 2018.
