\nSilajev had been granted a political asylum in Finland early this year.
\nThe Finnish embassy in Madrid has said that Silajev can be kept arrested
\nfor 40 days!<\/p>\n

The Spanish police arrested Silajev in Granada because of request from
\nInterpol on the 21st of august. Contrary to the expectations, he was not
\nreleased in a trial in Madrid on the 22nd of august, even though the
\nFinnish embassy had provided all the papers concerning his asylum and
\nright to stay in the country. The court wouldnt comment the case. The
\nSpanish police said that he only had a Russian passport when he was
\narrested. It is not clear how the Finnish state will react to the arrest.<\/p>\n

The Moscow Times interviewed Tanya Lokshina from The Human Rights Watch,
\nwho said that the Spanish state does not have to take into concideration
\nthe asylum from Finland and are free to send him back to Russia. This does
\nnot seem possible. The Finnish YLE news has interviewed the head of the
\nimmigration office Esko Repo who said that all the European Union
\ncountries are committed to not sending people to countries where they
\nmight face prosecution.<\/p>\n

The lawyer of Silajev said the situation looks bad.<\/p>\n

The Moscow Times said that the hardening line of the Russian government
\ntowards protests can lead to even more cases where people need to flee the
\ncountry. The case of Silajev can be connected to other cases where people
\nwho had fled the country have been tried to be sent back.<\/p>\n

Silajev was granted asylum from Finland in april of this year. The reason
\nwas the continuing political prosecution in Russia. The Russian Federation
\nwants him convicted for demonstrations against a highway in the Khimki
\nregion outside Moscow. Among other protests, the house of the city council
\nwas attacked and some people throw stones and fireworks in the building in
\n2010.<\/p>\n

The hunt of Silajev seems to be the last resort for the prosecutor to
\nconvict someone from the Khimki protests. Last year Aleksey Gaskarov, who
\nwas arrested for months, was releassed of all charges and Maxim Solopov
\nreceived a two year sentence for hooliganism. The third suspect Denis
\nSolopov has received an asylum from the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

The Moscow Times have said that the mayor of Khimki Vladimir Strelchenko
\nresigned last week because of pressure from the new governor of Moscow.
\nStrelchenko is suspected of organising attacks against the protesters who
\nwere resisting the building of the highway.<\/p>\n

We are asking for solidarity from our comrades in Madrid and other parts
\nof the Spanish state! Support our anarchist and antifascist comrade!<\/p>\n

Spread the word!<\/p>\n
