#KseniiaPetrova’s lawyer, Gregory Romanovsky, has said he was “blindsided” by the #smuggling charge, …“Less than 2 hours after the Vermont judge set a hearing on Kseniia’s release, she was suddenly transferred from #ICE to #criminal custody. This is not a coincidence. It is an attempt by the government to justify its outrageous & legally indefensible position that this #scientist working for the US on cures for #cancer & #aging #research has somehow become a danger to the community.”
