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.
BBC Russia spoke with the activist’s father, who lives in Turkey.
He said that in May of this year he and his daughter got into an altercation, which led to police being called.
He is nonetheless convinced that Litvinova’s deportation was only a matter of time.
Meduza recaps the key points of that report.
