MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 07th June, 2019) The Russian Consulate General in Houston criticized the US court sentence against Russian national Bogdana Osipova-Mobley, who was sentenced to seven years in jail, as unfair and inhumane.
On Thursday, the US District Court in Kansas sentenced Osipova-Mobley to seven years in prison for international parental kidnapping and demanding child support from her American ex-husband.
"Today, in the city of Wichita (Kansas), a trial in the case of the mother of three Bogdana Osipova, took place. She was sentenced to seven years in jail practically for asking her former husband to pay child support. We believe this sentence is unfair and inhumane. We will seek its reconsideration," the consulate general wrote on Twitter late on Thursday.
"The case of B. Osipova is another case of the blatant violation of Russian nationals' rights by the US authorities. The consulate general will continue closely monitoring the situation and will use all available opportunities for it," the consulate general pointed out.
Osipova-Mobley left Wichita, Kansas, in 2014 with one child from her first marriage and another from Air Force recruiter Brian Mobley. She gave birth to a third child after arriving in Russia. US authorities arrested Osipova in 2017 shortly after she returned to the United States in order to change child support arrangements.
