Joseph Tater, an American citizen, was forcibly taken to a psychiatric facility by Russian authorities after a court ordered him to undergo treatment before his trial. He was arrested in the summer of 2024 for allegedly attacking hotel staff and a police officer. The court decided on his psychiatric treatment following a medical examination, but the basis for this decision remains unclear as he had been released from pre-trial detention by the end of March. In September, Tater claimed in court that he sought political asylum in Russia due to being pursued by the CIA. Teljes cikk (hvg.hu)
