Former prime minister and the head of Russia's Parnas opposition party, Mikhail Kasyanov, said Tuesday that a leading member of his party had been kidnapped in Moscow.
In a Facebook post, Kasyanov said that Mikhail Konev — the head of the party's youth wing — was forced into a car by three unidentified men as he was leaving a military draft commission building in northern Moscow. A photograph of the kidnappers' car was also posted.
According to Kasyanov, 23-year old Mikhail Konev was requested to come to the military draft commission and was accompanied by his lawyer. The kidnap took place minutes after the visit.
Kasyanov said the party demands an immediate investigation and has called on authorities to secure Konev's release.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
