On August 27, the human rights project “No to Gulag,” citing its sources, reported that more than 50 people, including dozens of asylum seekers, had been deported from the United States to Russia. They underwent hours of coercive interrogation, were pressured to “cooperate,” and case materials for criminal prosecution were collected.

That same day, our colleague in the U.S., Dmitry Valuev, president of “Russian America for Democracy in Russia,” told Deutsche Welle that judges are not granting political asylum even to people criminally prosecuted in Russia for their views. According to their rough estimates, about a thousand Russians are awaiting decisions from U.S. authorities.

Later in the evening, immigration lawyer Yulia Nikolaeva said on the program “The Stream” that under U.S. law, deportations are to the country of citizenship. Recently, the practice of deportation to third countries has also begun. Uganda and several other countries have so far expressed their readiness to accept these people.
