The employees of the student magazine Doxa were searched

In Moscow, employees of the student magazine Doxa came with searches, the publication itself reported. Doxa claims that the searches are taking place because of a video about a violation of the right of students to go to rallies.

As reported in the telegram channel of the publication, operational activities are carried out in the Doxa editorial office, as well as in the apartments of the editors Armen Aramyan, Vladimir Metelkin, Natalia Tyshkevich and Alla Gutnikova. Their equipment was confiscated, and all four detainees were taken for interrogation to the Investigative Committee. According to Tyshkevich, before the search, the security forces broke down the door to her apartment. At the same time, lawyers are not allowed to see them. The security forces also came with searches to the parents of Armen Aramyan and Alla Gutnikova.

According to the publication, all detainees will be charged under Art. 151.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Involving a minor in committing acts endangering the life of a minor”), and the searches in the editorial office and correspondents are connected with a video in support of schoolchildren and students who were pressured by the administration before the protests on January 23.

Doxa has repeatedly written about illegal threats of expulsion or problems at the session for participating in the rally and gave examples of such pressure on students. Among the educational institutions that threatened punishment were Moscow State University, MGIMO, RANEPA. The video, due to which investigative actions allegedly arose, has already been removed by the publication at the request of Roskomnadzor.
