New Opposition activist left Russia after being detained and searched
New Opposition activist Olga Romanova left Russia for Kiev after being detained and interrogated as a witness in criminal cases of terrorism and extremism, activist Pierre Afner writes in a blog on the French website Mediapart .
Romanova said that she left Moscow for Kiev via Minsk in a car from the BlaBlaCar service.
At the end of October, it became known that members of the “New Opposition” Olga Romanova and Andrei Titkov were detained for an action on the Ustinsky Bridge, where they hung a mannequin with the slogans “Pinya go away” and “Putin is death. Revolution is life. 05.11.2017.”
On November 5, Romanova’s home was searched, after which she was taken to the FSB building. She was interrogated as a witness in criminal cases of terrorism and extremism brought against members of the Artpodgotovka movement, which was declared extremist in October and banned by the Krasnoyarsk Regional Court. “Romanova was told that in the future her status could change to that of an accused,” writes OVD-Info.
