MOSCOW. July 9 (Interfax) - Russian State Duma deputy Valery Seleznyov says he has no new information on the fate of his son Roman apprehended by U.S. authorities in the Maldives.
"I don't have any information from there so far, and, as far as I know, none of Russian representatives has been able to meet with my son," Seleznyov told Interfax on Wednesday.
The parliamentarian suggested that the people who detained Roman could be "knocking some confessions out of him, and this is precisely why he is being held in one of the most horrible prisons in Guam."
Seleznyov dismissed as untrue statements from Washington that the prison in Guam where Roman is supposedly being held is accessible to Russian diplomats.
