[Regnum] The Iranian authorities promised to provide Russian diplomats with the opportunity to meet with sailor Timofey Kolchanov, who was on board the commercial ship MSC Aries seized in the Strait of Hormuz, the Russian Embassy in Tehran reported on April 16 in its Telegram channel.
“The Iranian side promised to provide access to our citizen in the near future. As soon as this happens, embassy staff will personally visit T. S. Kolchanov,” the message says.
According to Iranian authorities, the ship Aries, which also carries a Russian sailor, was moved to the port of Bandar Abbas. It is also reported that he was given the opportunity to communicate with his family by phone.
As Regnum reported, the naval forces of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps captured the MSC Aries on April 13. According to the vessel's operator, there was a crew of 25 people.
On April 14, it became known that Kolchanov called his family. He said that the situation should be resolved soon. The sailor called from an unknown phone, the conversation lasted eight seconds, then the connection was interrupted.
Vice-President of the International Human Rights Committee Ivan Melnikov sent a note of protest to Iran. He called for the sailors to be released and the Russians to be helped to return to their homeland. The social activist accompanied the appeal with lines from the collection of hadiths (traditions) of the Prophet Muhammad, which says that it is necessary to free those who are experiencing difficulties.
