US National VanDyke to Reveal Details of India Detention Linked to Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Matthew VanDyke, a US national arrested in India in March for allegedly training ethnic armed groups in Myanmar, was released on default bail in September after terror charges were dropped. VanDyke and six Ukrainians spent over six months in custody. He claims his imprisonment was linked to Russia's war against Ukraine and plans to reveal 'shocking details' about his detention and treatment, including alleged assaults in Tihar Jail. Indian authorities have not commented on these claims, and the case continues with a court hearing scheduled for February 2027.
