Sixty-six-year-old Alina Argachova from Moscow was arrested on charges of "justifying terrorism." The reason was a social media post about the "Freedom of Russia" Legion, which is fighting against the Russian army in Ukraine.

The woman requested that the court change the preventive measure, arguing that she is taking care of her father. However, the judge rejected her request, as confirmed by the OVD-Info service.

Argachova was detained in February last year, and in November, she was added to the registry of terrorists and extremists. The "Freedom of Russia" Legion is recognized by Russia as a terrorist organization.
