Pussy Riot member Maria Alyokhina arrested for 15 days
Moscow's Khamovnichesky Court sentenced Pussy Riot member Maria Alyokhina to 15 days of administrative arrest under the article on disobeying the police (19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). Another Pussy Riot member, Alexander Sofeyev, told Mediazona about this.
The day before, Alyokhina was detained while riding in a taxi. According to Sofeyev, three men in civilian clothes, who had been on duty near the activist's house for several days, participated in the detention. The reason for the detention was not specified.
- Over the past three months, Maria Alyokhina has been sentenced to 15 days of arrest twice. The activist was tried under the article on displaying Nazi symbols due to old posts on social networks. In September 2021, she was sentenced to a year of restricted freedom under the "sanitary case."
