A native of Chechnya faces deportation from Poland to Russia

A native of Chechnya, Zelimkhan O., was detained by Polish border guards, after which he was sent to a deportation camp. It is reported by "Caucasus. Realities". The former wife of the detainee is sure that his life is in danger in Russia.

Russia put Zelimkhan on the federal wanted list and requested through Interpol on charges of participating in the activities of terrorist organizations in Syria. According to the ex-wife, the native of Chechnya was indeed part of the Free Syrian Army, which opposes the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, but is not recognized as a terrorist in France. There, the man served 5 years on charges of terrorism.

Zelimkhan was forced to leave France on August 24 due to a ban on further stay in the country. France handed over all the materials of his case to the Russian security forces, after which he was put on the wanted list.

Polish law enforcement officers argued the detention with problems with documents. Other details are not reported.
