Woman says Russian embassy in Canada denying her access to consular services
The official says in Russian that the Facebook page included “information with calls for violent actions, to the detriment of the interests of the Russian Federation. For this reason, you’re denied admission to the consular department.”
In the recording, Pushkareva asks what exactly on Facebook amounted to a threat, but the consulate provides no example.“With this decision you have gone beyond the legal framework of our country,” her letter reads in Russian, accusing the consulate of violating Russia’s constitution by depriving her of consular access and not providing a written reason.
She also noted that Facebook is supposed to delete content deemed to be threatening violence, if moderators don’t do so first. The embassy declined to comment, but the Novaya Gazeta news site said a consulate official insisted Pushkareva had not been denied services, only access to the consulate building. Yet the official did not specify how Pushkareva could be helped without entering the building, which they called an institution with security measures.“If you don’t deny me the service, maybe you’ll provide me with the service or on the street? Maybe they’ll bring out a desk? So anyway, I took another appointment.
