A Russian opposition activist who was seeking political asylum in the Netherlands has committed suicide while being held in a refugee centre, friends and associates said on Thursday.
Alexander Dolmatov fled Russia after the authorities searched his home in June to determine his role in a violent rally held outside the Kremlin on the eve of President Vladimir Putin's May 7 swearing-in to a third term. However, the Netherlands rejected his application for political asylum. Dolmatov was a designer at a Russian defense company (Tactical Rocket Missile Weapons Corporation) and a member of the Other Russia opposition party.
