Russian journalist arrested in Iran for spying for Israel
|
[Jpost] Russian journalist Yulia Yuzik was arrested in Tehran by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps on Thursday for allegedly cooperating with Israeli intelligence, according to the Russian TASS news agency.
Yuzik was arrested in the airport after flying to Tehran.
The Russian Embassy in Tehran stated that they are aware of the incident and are trying to find out more.
"The embassy is aware of this, we are sorting out the situation," said Andrei Ganenko, the embassy's press officer.
"Yulia worked as a reporter in Tehran a few years ago," said Boris Wojciechowski, a colleague of Yuzik's, according to Radio Farda. "She was invited to Iran some time ago and traveled to Tehran shortly thereafter. However, as soon as she arrived in Tehran, security officials seized her passport and told her that she could take it on his return. However, that same evening, several Revolutionary Guards officers arrested Ms. Yuzik by breaking into her room at the hotel."
Yuzik has only been allowed to talk to her relatives in Moscow for a minute since she was arrested. Her trial is scheduled to take place on Saturday.
