As a human rights organization, we were approached by a citizen of Ukraine, Viranovskaya Elena Nikolaevna, telling us about the situation with her grandson, Novichkov A.A. The latter is currently being held in custody in the Islamic Republic of Iran, pending clarification of the circumstances.
To solve the problems in the situation that arose, the legal department of the International Organization “Shield” was convened. Every day, we keep in touch with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and the Consular Section of the Embassy of Ukraine in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Our organization is doing everything possible for the release and return of the sailor to his homeland.
