A Russian scientist who worked at the Harvard Medical School was held Boston Logan International Airport On February 16 when she tried to return from a trip to Paris.
Kseniia Petrova, a bioinformatics at the Kirschner Lab, brought Kikkerembryos back at the request of a professor to a French lab who cooperates Harvard, her lawyer Gregory Romanovsky confirmed to Fox News.
According to Romanovsky, the monster was picked up in Paris and was supposed to be brought to Harvard and Petrova was not knowing that she had to claim them on customs.

American authorities at Boston Logan International Airport have withdrawn its visa instead of following the protocol, her lawyer said.
“As upset as I am with ice, They are not in default and just do their work, “he says.
According to Romanovsky, her visa should never have been withdrawn and the protocol for comparable situations contains the CBP that seize the item (s) and issue a fine.
He also believes that instead of Protocol CBP on Boston Logan International Airport has decided to punish his client by removing her visa.
Reportedly, Petrova, when she held, was asked if she wanted to inform the Russian consulate. This line of questions became a matter that caused fear for Petrova, who was previously held in Russia for anti-war protests shortly after the attack on Ukraine, Romanovsky claims.

Friends of the scientist say that when Petrova’s visa was withdrawn that she was told that she would be deported to Russia, something that her lawyer says that a devastating outcome would have, because she is “almost certainly imprisoned when she is sent back to Russia.”
Cora Anderson, who cooperates with the Russian scientist, shared on Facebook that Petrova CBP said that she feared for political persecution and instead sent by authorities to a detention facility.
“At first we had no idea what her had happened, because she could not send messages or make a call about detention. She was first moved to a facility in Vermont and Then Louisiana Where she is now. Where she is now is a prison with space that is rented by ice and is stored in a room with more than 80 other female prisoners, “Anderson posted.
Petrova is currently being held in the Richwood -DeTentie facility in Louisiana and has a hearing of the Immigration Court on 7 May in Jena, Louisiana with regard to her asylum shop.

Her lawyer also challenges the actions of CPB and a hearing of the federal court is planned for 9 June in the district of Vermont, but asks to accelerate the hearing.
Until that time, Petrova is still held indefinitely in a prison that has room through ice and is stored in a room with more than 80 other female prisoners, according to her Facebook message and Gofundme Started by her friend and colleague.
“Despite the fact that they have lawyers and the fact that she has done nothing illegal in the first place, she is still there and we have no idea when she will be conditional (or released, how easily released is unlikely),” Anderson said.
