DOXA editors Masha Bezverkhoy and Tima Mutaeva were given subpoenas for questioning by the Investigative Committee in the status of witnesses. The student publication itself reports this. They tried to serve another editor, Katya Martynova, with a summons, but the girl was not at home, and her mother refused to receive the document instead of her daughter.
Investigative actions will take place within the framework of the case of involving minors in illegal activities (Article 151.2 of the Criminal Code), in which four other journalists of the publication are accused - Armen Aramyan, Alla Gutnikova, Vladimir Metelkin and Natalia Tyshkevich.
On June 9, the court extended the ban on certain actions for those involved in the case against DOXA until September.
19:55 Katya Martynova, writes DOXA, was sent a summons via WhatsApp.
21:44 DOXA editor German Nechaev was also given a subpoena for questioning as a witness.
June 17 Editor Mikhail Postnikov was also summoned for questioning, according to the publication’s telegram channel. In total, summonses were sent to five DOXA participants.
- On the morning of April 14, four journalists from the student publication DOXA - Armen Aramyan, Alla Gutnikova, Vladimir Metelkin and Natalia Tyshkevich - were searched. After that, they were taken for interrogation to the Investigative Committee, and then to the court for a hearing to select a preventive measure: all four were given a ban on certain actions with strict restrictions.
- Journalists are accused of involving minors in activities that are dangerous to them (Article 151.2 of the Criminal Code). A criminal case was opened because of a DOXA video in which the publication’s participants addressed students - they urged them not to be afraid of threats of expulsion for participating in rallies. Subsequently, the magazine's editors deleted this video at the request of Roskomnadzor. The head of Alexei Navalny’s network of headquarters, Leonid Volkov, is involved in the same case: according to the investigation, after Volkov published the video “How can we get Navalny out of prison,” DOXA employees, against the backdrop of active discussions on social networks, had an intention “to support the above calls and create own publications."
