Madina, who was released from Myanmar on February 4, told Izvestia how she got into a fraudulent call center, where she was held against her will. According to her, all the prisoners' phones were regularly checked. While under surveillance, they were forced to write messages to their relatives that everything was fine with them.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on December 17 last year that diplomats were doing everything possible and necessary to return the abducted Russians from Myanmar. She also noted that Russian diplomats had already managed, in cooperation with Myanmar's law enforcement agencies, to rescue one Russian citizen from such a center and return home.
