NIA Continues Probe of US National VanDyke as Bail and Travel PermittedPreviousNext

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) continues its probe into US national Matthew VanDyke under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, though it has not invoked the anti-terror provisions. VanDyke, founder of Sons of Liberty International, was granted bail and allowed to travel to the US with conditions to cooperate remotely and return by October 23. His organisation expressed hope for a swift case resolution and thanked supporters for legal aid, while the NIA's investigation involving six Ukrainians also proceeds.
