Ukrainian Patriot Lured Out To Homel And Arrested

FSB agents pretended to be a "girl" from Russia and asked the Ukrainian out on a date to Belarus.

Igor Grib, the father of the kidnapped Ukrainian patriot, a resident of Kiev, wrote on Facebook:

- On August 24, 2017, my son Pavel (19 years old) went to the city of Homel to meet with a girl whom he met and communicated with only in social networks, without personal acquaintance, first in VK, and then via Skype. It was planned that the girl would come to the meeting from the Russian Federation.

It was agreed that Paul would return the same day. When the next day he did not return, I went to Homel to search for him.

And there I found out that the FSB of the Russian Federation for the Krasnodar Territory, the city of Sochi, wanted Pavel under Art. 205 of the Criminal Code of Russia (terrorist act).

In the Homel border authority, I asked the duty officer to tell me where my son was, as accordance to the instructions, if the border guards find a wanted persons at the border crossing point, they detain him or her and transfer to the agency, which initiated the search. They asked me to report them Pavel's personal information and promised to handle the case.

And an hour and a half later they told me that the border guards did not have any information about my son, which was a blatant lie! And the border authorities refused to meet with me.

Thus it became clear that the FSB lured Pavel to Homel under the guise of meeting with the girl and detained him.

Pavel met the revolution of dignity with the hope for changes in the country. After the Russian Federation's military aggression against Ukraine, he reported actively in social networks, often without moderating his language regarding the enemies of the Motherland. Perhaps this was the reason for the provocative actions of the FSB.

Thus, this example made it clear that Muscovy will not stop at anything, and will go on any provocation.

And this despite the fact that Pavel did not take part in military actions in the East of Ukraine, and he was not allowed to serve in the security forces for health reasons.

He has a disability. Paul has to take maintenance drugs on a regular basis. Absence of drugs can lead to fatal consequences. I do not know if the provocateurs from the FSB, who staged this shameful action, are aware of this.

I address to everyone! Give this this information to your family and friends who are users of social networks, so they do not repeat Pavel's mistakes. Also, I ask to pray for the liberation of Pavel and his return to Ukraine.
