Czech President Petr Pavel says Russian citizens living abroad should be put under “strict surveillance” by intelligence services in their host countries.
“All Russians living in Western countries should be monitored much more than in the past because they are citizens of a nation that leads an aggressive war,” Pavel said in an interview with Radio Free Europe released Thursday.
Getting WW2 internment camp vibes.
Sounds like the start of another Japanese Internment Camp situation; I wonder when people will learn that just because a person’s nation commits atrocities doesn’t mean that they were the one who commited them.
They’ve already done this to any academics/researchers who are from China
Could you point me to a source for that?
You can look up Trump’s China Initiative, it’s technically “ended” but seeing as they have arrested researchers since I think it’s “ended” in the way Biden has ended other trump programs. I’m on my phone, but here are some things to look at:

Keep in mind months after this article was published, Tao’s case was determined to not be “espionage”. Here is his wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feng_“Franklin”_Tao
Here is another example: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/wrongfully-accused-spying-china-professor-wins-appeal-sue-government-rcna86109
You can google related terms and find other examples. Some more dubious than others.
Interesting, thank you very much! I am not from the USA so I was unaware of this situation.
No problem, yeah, every once in a while there is another researcher who is claimed to be a “Chinese Spy”, though it has seemingly slowed down after multiple cases turned out false. Just another part of the latest red scare.
And this Guy was a member of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia until it’s dissolution
