LONDON/MOSCOW—Two of the Kremlin’s most prominent critics joined forces on Nov. 20 to try to stop a Russian becoming the next president of international police organization Interpol, saying they feared Moscow would abuse the post to hunt down its detractors.
Interpol’s general assembly is due to elect a new president on Nov. 21 after incumbent Meng Hongwei of China went missing in September. Beijing later said it had detained him in connection with a bribery probe.
