A Russian court on Thursday imposed restrictions on Lida Moniava, the founder of a children’s hospice, who is accused of spreading false information about the Russian military’s actions in Ukraine.
The Simonovsky District Court in Moscow ordered the restrictions as a pre-trial measure until 30 October, according to the Moscow courts’ press service.
The measure is less severe than detention but can limit a person’s movements, communications and use of the internet.
According to Kommersant, Moniava has been barred from leaving her home between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., using social media or communicating with witnesses in the case.
Moniava was detained on Wednesday after Russia’s Investigative Committee said she had been charged with posting what it described as “knowingly false information” on Telegram about the Russian military’s actions against civilians in Ukraine.
The committee said Moniava denied the charges during questioning.
Moniava, who founded the Lighthouse charity, has publicly criticised Russia’s war in Ukraine on Telegram, describing it as a crime that must end.
According to Russian rights group OVD-Info, more than 1,380 people have faced criminal prosecution for expressing anti-war views since the full-scale invasion began. Around 350 are currently in prison or pre-trial detention.
