Outspoken Kremlin dissident reported missing in Berlin

By IRNA

Berlin : A Russian artist and Kremlin critic has been reported missing in Berlin for more than a week, the press said.

Police halted the search for Anna Mikhalchuk on Friday without any clear lead.

However, the investigation on the whereabouts of the 52-year-old dissident who is married to Russian philosopher Michail Ryklin, will continue, Berlin police spokesman Bernhard Schodrowski was quoted saying.

There are no signs for a politically motivated crime, added Schodrowski.

Mikhalchuk who has been living in Berlin since November, went out on March 21 telling her husband she planned to run errands but has not been seen since that time.

Earlier, the Berlin-based Der Tagesspiegel reported that Mikhalchuk wrote recently a letter to police claiming she had received several anonymous death threats in the past.
