US ‘kidnaps’ Russian MP’s son to ‘exchange him for Snowden’
http://rt.com/news/171188-russian-hacker-kidnapped-america/

Quote

The US “kidnapped” the son of a Russian MP, possibly to exchange him for Edward Snowden, the father charged. The man was indicted with computer-related crimes by a Washington DC court and snatched from the Maldives.

Roman Seleznyov was detained on Saturday at Male international airport as he was returning to Russia, the Russian foreign ministry said on Tuesday in a statement. He was forced by agents of the US Secret Service to board a private plane to Guam to be later arrested, a move which the ministry called “a de-facto kidnapping.”

Man the Americans think up the weirdest stuff I'll kidnap this guy and ask for a ransom
What ever happened to we don't deal with terrorists but we will use their playbook when it is convenient to us.

I call BS on this story. This is something that the likes of CNN would have reported on by now if it was true.

LOL CNN. Seriously? People like you still exist?

CNN may have political spin to their stories, but they have a lot of resources to be able to break news, and have a reputation to maintain so they will not report something that is outright false.

This is absolutely laughable. Turn your TV off, your brain is leaking out of your ears. You have had enough.

Do you care to elaborate? The press in eastern europe and in russia is far from free and is controlled/influenced by the governments there, on the other hand the press in the US does not answer to the government in any way.

I didn't say change the channel to RT TV, I said turn your TV off before what is left of your brain is turned to complete mush.

Do you really believe what you are writing? I've read articles in the Russian press, criticising the government to a degree that would not have managed to slip through the censorship in the West.

This is the sort of thing you'd expect to read in a fictional book such as 1984 but America has really become a real life police state,
The govt spies on it's people, strips away the constitution, up arms their police to deal with rebellions, shoots their own citizens...

Exactly, and that is the reason i want to keep away from them as much as possible. Maybe most of the people will still say "long live the king" but sorry i'm rather here in much worse economy than in that gov where i can't even fart without them knowing.

To add to that, many times when you see CNN and their ilk report news from Russia, if you look closely, you'll notice that they reference RIA Novosti, Interfax or ITAR-TASS, while often altering the angle of the news item ever so slightly to match the corporate guidelines.

Anyone can edit/make a wikipedia article.

Your source that is in russian only says that he was captured, but does not mention Snowden once in the article/release.

Reference to Snowden came from the father of the arrested man. It was his personal assumption, if you cared to actually read the articles.

As for Interfax: Go to the source.

I'd urge the US to be careful with this since identity theft is the easiest crime to frame someone with. What may look like a criminal could be a victim of identity theft themselves, but a far deeper reaching form of identity theft.

Cyber crime framing is a tactic used by hackers to lead law enforcement to a innocent person in order to cover their tracks.

Interfax has existed for many years. Their counterpart in the Western world is Associated Press.

Time is on our side, yes it is!

It is interesting if this is true, its about time something is done to acquire that little piece of trash Snowden. I doubt the exchange is even needed to apprehend him, but a prisoner exchange makes saving face easier when you can swap criminals. So then when Russian PO's pick him, they won't be nice about it and tool up Snowden pretty good before shipping him to the USA for his trial, so the little bastard can rot in prison forever, with other traitors like Tranny Manning...

So I guess you like being spied on and lied to about it? You may want to really look into
Stockholm syndrome.. I say this because you express no aggression in your rant towards the feds who have commuted crimes far worse then Manning or Snowden. Not sure why some people refuse to ignore the big picture.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry urges US ‘to stop harassing kidnapped Russian MP’s son’
http://rt.com/news/172216-seleznyov-us-stop-bullying/

Quote

The Russian Foreign Ministry is urging the US to stop harassing Russian MP’s son, Roman Seleznyov, who is now being held in Guam on cyber-fraud charges, and calls for the “observance of his rights,” including the “right to medical care.”

...

"We continue to demand Washington to immediately release Roman Seleznyov, who was forcibly flown out the Republic of Maldives to the US island of Guam on July 5,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday.

One of the biggest concerns raised by the ministry is the lack of medical attention for Seleznyov.

“Roman Seleznyov was seriously injured in a terrorist attack in 2011 [in Marrakech, Morocco],” and he is being denied necessary medicine. “As a result his health and even his life are in danger.”

Looks like it's time to find a couple of kilograms of heroin in the car owned by son of U.S. Ambassador.

I don't know for sure, but if my guess is right, diplomatic immunity should be applicable to family members as well. So, if the Russian police finds a couple of kilograms of heroin in the car of the U.S. Ambassador's son, the maximum penalty that will be incurred on him is expulsion in 24 hours.

According to Russian sources (I'm Russia) Seleznev is a criminal - he is not just a hacker, he is also a thief. He has stolen really a lot of secret data, so...

Then the US should have followed the international law, and not themselves behave like the criminals they are.

There is Interpol. They could have collected all the evidence, submitted it to Interpol with an arrest warrant. Like Russia did against the known terrorist Jarosh.

But the US measures everyone by their own stock, so if they themselves will not respond to international arrest orders, then they think that no one else will. Typical criminal mentality.

The US gov hasn't got a good track record when it comes to international law; they kidnap, torture and kill people with impunity.

When it comes to law, it is only as good as the law enforcer.

Country/organization with no army should not even bother.

Well done, you've just defeated propaganda and become a person that can think for themselves, it's sad but there are still people out their who actually blindly think that way, I don't hold anything against anyone who likes democracy and government, but what I can't stand are loyalists who just obey no matter how stupid the command is.

The reason you can't disagree is obviously because it's true, it's like with mathematics, you can't disagree with a recorded historical fact, well unless you're a moron Tongue

I doubt the exchange is even needed to apprehend him, but a prisoner exchange makes saving face easier when you can swap criminals. So then when Russian PO's pick him, they won't be nice about it and tool up Snowden pretty good before shipping him to the USA for his trial, so the little bastard can rot in prison forever, with other traitors like Tranny Manning...

Hey Chowder, the NSA called and they have that new tracking butt plug you had fitted ready for you. Wear it with pride!

The U.S. did this for obvious political reasons. If Russia were to kidnap a U.S. citizen, the US wouldn't care much. They have a decorated US marine, Andrew Tahmooressi rotting in a Mexican prison on BS charges. The state dept. or Obama Admin isn't doing a thing about that. Whilst they let 50,000+ anchor babies through it's borders with utmost care and concern. Shows just how much the US of BSA cares about it's own. It's citizens and veterans are disposable as is evident also with the VA scandal

Most likely Andrew is trying to smuggle weapon across border and get caught.

If you think that's bad the UK government over here freely extradite UK citizens to the U.S knowing precisely the kind of treatment they'll get, if I knew that the U.S wanted me extradited I'd flee to China or Russia as well since they seem to be the only truly sovereign countries around anymore that stand up to them.

It is interesting if this is true, its about time something is done to acquire that little piece of trash Snowden. I doubt the exchange is even needed to apprehend him, but a prisoner exchange makes saving face easier when you can swap criminals.

This is the sort of thing you'd expect to read in a fictional book such as 1984 but America has really become a real life police state,
The govt spies on it's people, strips away the constitution, up arms their police to deal with rebellions, shoots their own citizens...
