David Scheffel: Cause for Concern in Slovakia

The "Visegrád Anthropologists' Network" is concerned to hear about the predicament of our respected colleague David Scheffel (Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC, Canada). It is clear from the information available to us https://www.justicefordavidscheffel.com/ that the procedures being followed, and the conditions in which he is being held in custody in Slovakia, fall short of EU standards. We urge that David Scheffel be given the opportunity to clear his name in a transparent process as rapidly as possible.
