Poland has detained Aysoltan Niyazova, a member of Russian anti-Putin protest group Pussy Riot, after she entered the country from Lithuania. The authorities say they were required to do so as she is the subject of an Interpol red notice issued by Turkmenistan, and are now considering her extradition.
Niyazova, who is a Russian-Turkmen dual national, was taken into custody and placed in a detention centre on Saturday morning, according to Lucy Shtein, a fellow Pussy Riot member, who shared a video on social media of the incident.
Shtein noted that Niyazova was also detained in Croatia in 2022 under the same Interpol notice, before being released a week later. “They’ve been putting this person through this for years just because she’s the daughter of a Turkmen opposition figure,” she added.

Pussy Riot told Mediazona, an independent Russian media outlet founded by two of the group’s members, that Niyazova is facing “no legal charges” in Turkmenistan and that “her only ‘crime’ is openly opposing one of the most closed dictatorships in the world”.
“We demand her immediate release and call on Polish and European authorities not to extradite her to a regime known for torture, arbitrary detentions and persecution of dissidents,” wrote the group, which rose to international prominence in 2012 after staging a performance in Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.

When Niyazova was previously detained in Croatia in 2022, Amnesty International was among the human rights groups that appealed for her not to be extradited to Turkmenistan, saying it would “put her at great risk of suffering serious abuse, including torture and other ill-treatment”.
Amnesty noted that “Interpol warrants have been notoriously abused by a number of authoritarian regimes”, including Turkmenistan’s, which issued its red notice against Niyazova in 2002, accusing her of embezzling funds belonging to the country’s central bank

Dunno, cuz they are persecuted and sent to gulags for usual punk gimmicks that pass in any other modern nation?
And why the fuck would you call them nazis? That word even means anything to you, or is anything not supported by RT/Sputnik “nazi”, and the millions of their victims are just something for you to wipe the shit of yer mouth with?
Thousands of people are arrested in the UK every year for naughty tweets. In Germany women are regularly assaulted for peaceful protest.
They literally support the genocidal USA and the EU and spread their Nazi propaganda.
Guest that’s what you aim at?
Any of them arrested for caring an empty white peace of paper? Any of them arrested for a punk gig?
Don’t get me wrong - I have been beaten up by German police and been to German prison and did not enjoy it. But I appreciate protesting there is at least legal and does not necessarily land you in prison automatically. Would def. take it over the FSB putting a gun to my head for having a camera, or an internal border guard offering to shoot the 4 of us in a ditch, while loading a round in his AK, for asking why they need our papers. And that’s not even attempting any political activity in Russia, that’s just your average experience. There’s a reason there’s no opposition to Putin, including the communist party just acting as sanctioned opposition-light taking great care not to critique him or the pathological oligarch playground that Russia became.
But I don’t exactly get your point here. Repressions of punk bands in Russia is ok because capitalist regimes do what capitalist regimes always do?
Any sources, links to said support of genocide and nazi propaganda? Still pretty convinced you’re just using a historically unparalleled tragedy as your lazy excuse of an argument, driven by brain dead authoritarian propaganda.
Yes, your link confirms it?
Well not that I know of. They’re arrested for far more innocent and defensible things. Like protesting Germany’s (and the EU’s) genocide.
Lol wat? It’s even worse that they beat your up illegally? I don’t understand how your mind works.
Really? Is it though? Did that even sound plausible as you were typing it?
My point is that “repression” of foreign funded far right propagandists for genocidal states is understandable, even commendable.
Do you support the genocidal USA and the EU. Because Pussy Riot do. This is an easy question to answer.
Your programming is out of date. Gaza changed everything. You can no longer claim that Russia is worse than the EU.
What did you learn from the genocide? Anything at all? Did you change your views on any topic?
