US National Faces India Terror Probe; Family Seeks Diplomatic Aid
Matthew Van Dyke, a U.S. national and founder of Sons of Liberty International, is facing an anti-terror probe in India, prompting his family to seek urgent diplomatic intervention.
A Delhi court on Monday granted permission for an Indian anti-terror agency to interrogate U.S. national Matthew Van Dyke and Ukrainian national Kaminskyi Viktor while they are held in prison. The interrogations are scheduled to take place on September 2 and 3.
Mr. Van Dyke, identified as the founder of Sons of Liberty International (SOLI), has been the subject of a letter from the organisation dated August 30. This communication described his detention as a "prolonged humanitarian crisis."
His family is reportedly seeking urgent diplomatic intervention concerning his situation. This request comes in advance of a hearing scheduled for September 8, which is expected to address the ongoing proceedings related to the anti-terror probe.
The specific details of the anti-terror investigation or the charges against Mr. Van Dyke and Mr. Viktor were not immediately available, beyond the confirmation of the court's order for their interrogation by the anti-terror agency.
