Bella Nasibyan, a journalist for the RusNews portal, was detained on September 1 in Rostov-on-Don for promoting the symbols of an extremist organization.
Nasibyan was detained in the early morning of September 1 near the kindergarten where she was taking her child.
The reason for the detention was a photo posted on her Instagram, in which the “Smart Voting” sticker was slightly visible.
What is Smart Voting?
“Smart Voting” is a project created by Alexei Navalny in 2018. “Smart Voting helps voters who don’t know each other act together: not to vote disparately, but to concentrate on supporting one candidate, thereby increasing their chances of winning.” Moscow City Court Finds Anti-Corruption Foundation Extremist Organizations June 9, 2021
