A Russian woman says she has been denied consular services by her country's embassy in Canada over claims her Facebook activity poses a security threat.
Pushkareva said the Russian Embassy, which declined to comment to The Canadian Press, denied her access to its consular service in Ottawa, where she had an appointment to update her children's documents.
"I don't understand why they decided to call me first, why it was so important for them that I don't even come." She said the man on the phone said that if Pushkareva didn't believe him, she could show up at the consulate and be told the same thing, which is what she said happened. The consulate sits in a building down the street from the embassy.
In the recording, Pushkareva asks what exactly on Facebook amounted to a threat, but the consulate provides no example."With this decision you have gone beyond the legal framework of our country," her letter reads in Russian, accusing the consulate of violating Russia's constitution by depriving her of consular access and not providing a written reason.
She also noted that Facebook is supposed to delete content deemed to be threatening violence, if moderators don't do so first. She said she went public with her story out of a sense that keeping quiet wouldn't help resolve the situation.
