Lithuanian authorities refused to detain Leonid Volkov, the head of the network of regional headquarters of the opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who was put by Russia on the interstate wanted list, reports Delfi with reference to the Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis.
"The use of the international arrest warrant instruments against the opposition, in fact, discredits Russia's participation in these instruments," the Foreign Minister said.
The Lithuanian Interior Minister, Agne Bilotaite, made a similar statement. She noted that the use of Interpol for political purposes was prohibited by the third article of the Organization's Constitution. The head of the Interior Ministry added that the organization strictly prohibited any activity of a political, military, religious or racist nature.
