The editor-in-chief of Mediazona, who was arrested for 25 days, was taken to a center for migrants in Sakharovo

The editor-in-chief of Mediazona, Sergei Smirnov, was arrested for 25 days and taken to a temporary detention center for foreign citizens in the village of Sakharovo. This was reported by Mediazona editor Yegor Skovoroda.

“Smirnov is eventually taken to Sakharovo - this is a deportation center in New Moscow, where those arrested are now being hastily taken because everything else is overcrowded,” the journalist added.

Today, February 3, the Tverskoy Court of Moscow arrested Smirnov for 25 days for retweeting a joke with a picture that indicated the date of the protest. Several dozen publications and international organizations came out in support of the journalist.
