The Sota Telegram channel said on October 5 that Russian anti-war activist Natalya Narskaya, arrested in Kazakhstan in July at Moscow's request, will reportedly be extradited to Russia soon. It added that Narskaya has developed mental problems, as she has been held in solitary confinement for weeks. Russian journalist Yevgenia Baltatarova cited sources as saying that Narskaya will be extradited by October 25. Narskaya, who fled Moscow last year, is wanted for criticizing Russia for its aggression against Ukraine on YouTube. Kazakh rights defender Denis Zhivago told RFE/RL that the Kazakh Bureau for Human Rights is following Narskaya's case. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Kazakh Service, click here.
