00:00French police have detained four people suspected of a plot against exiled Russian rights activist
00:05Vladimir Osechkin, authorities said on Thursday.
00:09Osechkin is the founder of Gulagu.net, a group that exposes abuse and torture in the Russian
00:14prison system.
00:15In an interview on Friday, Osechkin said he has faced repeated threats and believes those
00:20arrested are just a part of a big team.
00:23His group was also among the first to reveal that Russia's military was recuting prisoners
00:28to fight in Ukraine.
00:30The alleged plot is being investigated as part of what authorities call a sustained campaign
00:35of Russian sabotage and hybrid warfare against European allies of Ukraine.
