[]

Date: 2024-01-25  

A court in Russia’s Buryatia has fined human rights activist and lawyer Nadezhda Nizovkina 5,000 rubles ($56) under an article on participating in the activities of an “undesirable organization” for a comment she gave to the independent Russian news outlet Dozhd (TV Rain).

Mediazona reports that this is the first known case in Russia of a fine being imposed for a comment made to a media outlet that the authorities have declared an “undesirable organization.”

Nizovkina learned about the fine from media reports.
