Pro-Krem­lin Russ­ian Nation­al­ist Politi­cian Calls for Ren­di­tion of William Brow­der to Russia

28 Jan­u­ary 2016 – Pro-Krem­lin Russ­ian nation­al­ist politi­cian, Eduard Limonov, has pub­licly called for the ille­gal ren­di­tion to Rus­sia of UK-based Putin crit­ic William Browder.

“The task of our spe­cial ser­vices is to catch Brow­der and bring him in a sack to Rus­sia,” Eduard Limonov told to the pro-Putin news agency “Novy Den.”  (http://newdaynews.ru/moskow/555722.html).

This is the sec­ond ille­gal ren­di­tion threat against Mr. Brow­der ema­nat­ing from Rus­sia. In the sum­mer of 2014, Mr. Brow­der received a warn­ing from the US Depart­ment of Jus­tice of a sim­i­lar Russ­ian threat. The threat relat­ed to actions being put in place to “find” Mr Brow­der in Lon­don and “poten­tial­ly return” him to Russia.

This most recent threat came just as Brow­der called on British Prime Min­is­ter Cameron to impose trav­el sanc­tions and asset freezes on senior offi­cials in the Putin regime in response to the find­ing of the Russ­ian state’s com­plic­i­ty in the Litvi­nenko mur­der which endan­gered lives of oth­ers in Britain.

In an open let­ter in the Guardian, William Brow­der said:

“You can’t undo an act of state-spon­sored ter­ror­ism on British soil from 2006, but for the long-term safe­ty and secu­ri­ty of every­one in Britain you must act in a way that leaves no doubt that the UK gov­ern­ment will not be cowed. You must stand firm and ensure seri­ous con­se­quences for any­one who dares to repeat such an atro­cious act on British soil.”(http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/26/litvinenko-report-punish-russia-cameron-bill-browder)

Last month, on 15 Decem­ber 2015, Russ­ian Gen­er­al Pros­e­cu­tor Chai­ka lashed out against William Brow­der, accus­ing him of work­ing with West­ern spe­cial ser­vices to desta­bilise Rus­sia by pro­duc­ing a cor­rup­tion expose against the Russ­ian Gen­er­al Prosecutor.

“I have absolute­ly no doubts that this men­da­cious movie has been ordered by W. Brow­der and intel­li­gence ser­vices who are stand­ing behind him… There is a glob­al pur­pose — to com­pro­mise the Russ­ian Pros­e­cu­tor Gen­er­al, his region­al sub­or­di­nates, and once again to denounce our coun­try as…  the coun­try wor­thy of eco­nom­ic and oth­er sanc­tions,” said Russ­ian Gen­er­al Pros­e­cu­tor Chai­ka.

Mr Limonov has become an out­spo­ken sup­port­er of Russ­ian Pres­i­dent Putin. This week, he tried to dis­miss the expose of cor­rup­tion involv­ing Vladimir Putin as “part of US war against Rus­sia.” https://www.therussophile.org/limonov-accusations-of-corruption-against-putin-are-part-of-us-war-against-russia.html/
