Summary

The Eastern Finland Administrative Court has preliminarily rejected asylum for Russian anarchist Mikhail Lunykovsky, according to Novaya Gazeta Europe. The Finnish Migration Service confirmed Lunykovsky's long-term political activism, multiple arrests, and police violence, as reported by Novaya Gazeta Europe. The court ruled that Lunykovsky's activities were of minor significance and that he does not pose a special interest to Russian authorities, according to Novaya Gazeta Europe. Lunykovsky believes his social media publications became known to authorities and that he would be detained at the Russian border, based on his own assumptions, as reported by Novaya Gazeta Europe.
