Arrested for having a rune tattoo

On August 29, 2014, in Saratov, a woman was arrested for 15 days for a tattoo with runes.

On August 29, 2014 in Saratov, a Justice of the Peace considered an administrative case against Natalya Surovtseva.

The woman was detained on August 28 on charges of showing a tattoo with Nazi symbols. Surovtseva claims that the tattoo depicts a pagan rune. Unfortunately, the photo illustrating the report of this offense is blurry. It can be assumed that it depicts a non-alphabetic runic symbol wolfsangel (wolf hook), which was also used by the Nazis.

The court found her guilty under Article 20.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (propaganda and public display of Nazi paraphernalia or symbols, or public display of paraphernalia or symbols of extremist organizations). Surovtseva was sentenced to 15 days of administrative arrest.
