The mobilized Dmitry Setrakov, who did not want to fight against Ukraine and left the Russian Federation for Armenia, was deported back. Now he is in Rostov-on-Don, in the military police department for the Southern Military District. This was reported by the “Go through the Forest!” project, which helps Russian citizens flee abroad.
Dmitry Setrakov was detained on December 7 in the Armenian city of Gyumri by Russian military police. He was held at a Russian military base. Today it became known that the man was deported to Russia. This is the first case of expatriation of a conscript from Armenia. In the Russian Federation, a criminal case has been initiated against a young man for leaving his unit without permission.
Earlier, the head of the Helsinki Civil Assembly - Vanadzor, Artur Sakunts, told the Armenian service of Radio Liberty that the Russian military police do not have the right to detain even Russian citizens in Armenia; only the law enforcement agencies of Armenia itself can do this. The human rights activist called such actions “an attack on the legal system of Armenia as a sovereign state.”
