US tourist arrested after visit to restricted North Sentinel island

Social Media Influence is a “new threat” to unpaid indigenous people. The charity was warned after arresting US tourists who traveled to the limited Indian Ocean Island.

Mykhailo Viktorch Polyakov (24 years old) is said to have landed with a clear attempt to take a visit with the Sentineles tribe isolated in North Sentinel Island and leave a visit and leave a coke and coconut can on the coast.

Survival International, a group that advocates the rights of tribal people, said that the insisted behavior was “deeply confused” because it extinct the life of the person’s life and tribe.

The United States said he knew “situation monitoring.”

Police chief HGS DHALIWAL of Andaman and Nicobar Islands told the news agency AFP that “American citizens were published in the District Court” and retired for three days for “further interrogation.”

AFP, citing Dhaliwal, said Polyakov has blown whistle on the coast of the island to attract the tribal attention for about an hour.

Then I landed for about 5 minutes, leaving a product, collecting samples and recording videos.

The police chief told AFP:

It is illegal for foreigners and Indians to travel within 5 km (3 miles) on the island to protect those who live there.

According to the police, Polyakov visited the area twice, including using balloon kayaks before it was interrupted by a hotel employee in October last year.

The man, arrested earlier this week, told the police that he was “thrilling jobs.”

Survival International says Sentinelese wants to avoid outsiders. Over the years, they emphasized that such visits are threatened by an external disease that is not immune to external diseases.

Jonathan Mazower, a spokesman for Survival International, was afraid that the BBC would be added to the threats of social media unacceptable tribes. According to several media reports, we have connected polyakov to your YouTube account and recently traveled to Afghanistan.

Mazower said, “The more and more people who are influenced to do this kind of work for followers, as well as somewhat established threats to those people from things like Amazon’s logging and mining, where most of the non -contacts live, are increasing.”

“I’m fascinated by social media throughout this idea.”

Survival International describes Sentinelese as “the world’s most isolated indigenous people,” living in Manhattan -sized islands.

Mazower added that about 200 people belonged to the BBC, and added that they were “impossible” before they knew the true number.

He said that the details of the group lived in a small settlement village and were almost known to the hunter collector community, “Very healthy.”

He added that the case emphasized why the government’s protection of the community, such as Sentinelese, is important.
