The leader of Ukraine's ultra-nationalistic Right Sector, Dmytro Yarosh, who has been accused by Russia of making extremist calls, will soon be put on Interpol's international most wanted list a source familiar with the situation said.
“After certain documents are agreed upon, Interpol’s National Central
Bureau in Russia will forward the documents requesting Yarosh’s
inclusion in the Interpol database to the headquarters of this
international police organization in Lyon,” he said.
Russian investigators have accused Yarosh of “public appeals for
carrying out terrorist and extremist activities using mass media
outlets,” a criminal offence that carries from five to seven years in
prison.
The criminal case was opened against Yarosh in response to a text,
posted on Yarosh’s account on the Vkontakte social networking website,
called The Appeal of Right Sector Leader Dmytro Yarosh to Doku Uamrov,
in which Yarosh “urged the leader of the terrorist organization to
activate extremist and terrorist activities in Russia,” investigators
said.
On April 2 the Moscow City Court upheld the decision to arrest Yarosh in absentia.
The Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office said earlier that no
grounds existed for detaining and deporting Yarosh to a foreign country.
