Sentsov: Russian and Justice

sentsov: The Russian Justice Ministry said Sentsov was made a Russian citizen in March 2014 when a new Russian law conferred citizenship on all residents of Crimea, according to the letter, according to Brandon Sun. Sentsov, a native of Crimea, was a vocal opponent to Russia annexation of the peninsula. Ukraine Deputy Justice Minister Sergiy Petukhov posted a copy of the refusal letter on Facebook on Friday in which Russia Justice Ministry said it was "impossible" to transfer Sentsov to Ukraine because he holds Russian citizenship. Critics say his prosecution was punishment for his pro-Ukrainian position. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
