Halya Coynash: Suspect in Tetyana Chornovol attack receives asylum in Russia
Russia's Izvestia newspaper reports that Ukrainian national Andrei Zinchenko has been released after spending more than 6 months in detention and granted temporary asylum. Zinchenko is suspected of involvement in the savage attack on journalist and EuroMaidan activist Tetyana Chornovol. His extradition from Russia had been sought by Ukraine's Prosecutor General and he was therefore arrested on Feb 6, 2014, and detained in a Moscow SIZO [detention unit].
