A Russian couple who opposed President Vladimir Putin and his invasion of Ukraine was detained for six months after seeking asylum in the US | BISouthAfrica

Mariia Shemiatina and Boris Shevchuk, both practicing physicians, had been vocal critics of Putin since at least 2018 and feared they would either be conscripted to serve as medics on the front lines or imprisoned, after posting anti-war messages on social media.

But the couple was detained, separated, and flown to two remote immigration detention centers in Louisiana, where they were kept for six months before being reunited, according to the Times. Her husband was held in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Pine Prairie, 30 miles away. A spokesperson for Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
