RT journalist detained in Romania
Chay Bowes is in Bucharest to cover the presidential election
RT journalist Chay Bowes has been detained by Romanian authorities upon arrival in Bucharest on Thursday, where he had traveled to cover the upcoming presidential election.
According to the Irish reporter, police boarded the plane immediately after landing and were specifically looking for him. “They only wanted me. Came onto the plane, asked who is Chay Bowes, and six of them took me from the plane,” he said.
The officers reportedly told Bowes that their “superiors” wanted to interview him and questioned him about the purpose of his visit to Romania.
The current status of Bowes — who is an EU citizen — and whether he remains in custody have not yet been confirmed.
