Arrest of journalist Nadezhda Kevorkova accused of justifying terrorism extended

The Basmanny Court of Moscow has left Nadezhda Kevorkova, a journalist, accused of justifying terrorism, in custody until March 3, 2025.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on November 22, the above Moscow court left Kevorkova in custody until January 5, 2025, and the Moscow City Court denied the defence's protest against arrest extension. On December 3, it became known that the case was returned from the prosecutor's office to investigators with request to eliminate the revealed inaccuracies in the charges.

Nadezhda is accused of justifying terrorism for her two posts placed in her Telegram channel: a repost of a text by the journalist Orkhan Djemal dated 2010 about the attack on Nalchik, and a post about the "Taliban" Movement*.

Albina Pavlova, an advocate, has stated that on December 9, a bill was introduced to the Russian State Duma that provides for a temporary suspension of the ban on organizations, including those aimed at terrorist activities. "One of the episodes with Kevorkova has to do with her post about the 'Taliban' ... Nadezhda is characterized positively; she has numerous awards and guarantees from respected people," the "RusNews" outlet has quoted the advocate as saying. However, the court has ignored these arguments.

*By the Russian Supreme Court the "Taliban" Movement has been recognized to be a terrorist organization and banned in Russia.
