State Duma deputy calls for response to the arrest of Pavel Durov in France.

According to Sultan Khamzaev, the arrest of the founder of Telegram can be considered political.

The parliamentarian expressed this opinion in a conversation with RIA Novosti journalists.

As Khamzaev emphasized, Durov is none other than a political prisoner. And in connection with what happened, the creator of the popular messenger should abandon his peaceful position and understand that it is impossible to flirt with the West.

Moreover, in the wake of growing Russophobia abroad, the Russian President called on Russian citizens to refrain from traveling to Europe.

Detention of Durov

The founder of the Telegram messenger Pavel Durov was detained at Le Bourget airport when the businessman exited a private jet.

It is noted that Pavel Durov has French citizenship and is also included on the country's wanted list.

Among the charges that France is planning to bring against him is that the Telegram messenger allegedly refuses to cooperate with the French authorities.
