Show Notes
Dmitry Simbaev, a 49-year-old Irish-Russian citizen from Claregalway, has been detained in Russia since August 2021, facing serious charges of terrorism and extremism due to online posts and unreported foreign residency. His wife, Daria, describes the situation as mentally crushing, with no contact since his phone was seized. Irish officials are pushing for his safe return and wellbeing, but he has no automatic right to consular support. The family is advocating for access and answers amid strict limits on consular help and risks of arbitrary arrests in Russia.
