Russia wants to speak with ex-spy's daughter

None

The Russian Embassy in London is criticizing British officials for isolating the daughter of an ex-Russian spy.

 

A hospital official said Tuesday that Yulia Skripal, who was poisoned in England March 4 along with her father, former double agent Sergei Skripal, has been discharged. Officials said her father continues to improve in hospital.

 

The Russian Embassy accused British authorities of continuing their policy of isolating the ex-spy's daughter from the public, "concealing important evidence and blocking an impartial and independent investigation."

 

The embassy reaffirmed its request for a meeting with the 33-year-old woman, and demanded "urgent proof" that British authorities are respecting her free will.

 

Britain blames Russia for the nerve agent attack on Skripal. Moscow fiercely denies the accusation.
