French bicyclist held in Vladivostok Russian custody
In an unexpected turn of events, French cyclist Sofiane Sehili has been detained at the Russia-China border near Vladivostok. According to a report by the French newspaper Le Monde, Sehili was attempting to break the world record for crossing Eurasia by bicycle.
On August 14, 2023, Sehili attempted to cross through two different Russian border control points at the China-Russia border crossing near Vladivostok. However, his attempts were unsuccessful, and he was stopped at the border.
The exact location of the detention was reported to be at the Russia-China border in Vladivostok. However, the Far Eastern Customs Directorate has since denied this information, stating it as inaccurate.
Sehili started his journey on July 1 from Lisbon, Portugal, and had planned to finish in Vladivostok, Russia. During his journey, he passed through Tajikistan, Mongolia, and China, according to Le Monde's report.
As of the report, Sehili's social media accounts are closed, and all photos and videos have been removed. This has added to the mystery surrounding his current situation.
The detention of Sofiane Sehili has raised questions and concerns among his supporters and the cycling community. It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold and whether Sehili will be allowed to continue his attempt to break the world record.
