   Russian Judge Matusyak Orders Deportation of Teenagers to Latvia

   Judge Tatiana Matusyak of the Dzerzhinsky District Court in St. Petersburg has ruled to deport two underage Russian citizens to Latvia. The teenagers, sons of Alexei Sharakov who moved them to Russia under a state program, want to stay in Russia. Despite a psychologist's conclusion supporting their wish, Matusyak's decision stands. This is not the first time Matusyak has made such a decision; in 2022, she ordered the deportation of a minor girl to Australia. Critics question how Matusyak remains in her position and call for intervention from the Prosecutor General's Office and the Investigative Committee.
