Russian Charity Founder Detained in Moscow Over War 'Fakes'
The Moscow Times·RU·3 days ago
Russian authorities detained Lida Moniava, head of the 'House with a Lighthouse' children's hospice, and charged her under Article 207.3 Part 2 Clause D for spreading 'fake' information about the military, motivated by political hatred. The charge follows a social media post condemning the war and carries up to 10 years in prison. This is a continuation of Russia's crackdown on dissent, but targeting a prominent humanitarian figure marks an escalation in the state's enforcement of wartime speech restrictions.
