  • A Moscow court on Tuesday banned a teen activist from leaving her house at night for two years on vandalism charges, her lawyer said, as Russia tightens the screws on the opposition. Olga Misik, 19, rose to prominence after she read the constitution in front of riot police during protests in Moscow in 2019 after several allies of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny were barred from local elections. Misik and two other activists, Ivan Vorobyevsky and Igor Basharimov, were detained in August 2020 after they attached a banner to a security booth outside the Prosecutor General's Office in Moscow and sprayed it with pink paint during the night. Misik, who came to court wearing a judge's wig and robe, will be banned from leaving her house between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am for two years, her lawyer Dmitry Zakhvatov told AFP. Vorobyevsky and Basharimov will be restricted from leaving their homes between 11:00 pm and 5:00 am for one year and nine months. They are also barred from leaving the city or town where they are registered and cannot attend mass gatherings, such as rallies and protests. According to prosecutors, their actions caused 3,464 rubles ($47) worth of damage to the building, while the defence insisted that the paint could be washed off with water. During her final statement in court in late April, Misik, who is currently studying journalism at the Moscow State University, said she does not regret her activism. "I'd rather be insane in your eyes than helpless in my own," she said in the speech shared on her Facebook page. She also compared her case to that of Sophie Scholl, a student in Nazi Germany, who protested Adolf Hitler's regime and was executed by guillotine after being convicted of treason for handing out anti-war leaflets. The verdict comes amid an ongoing clampdown on Russia's opposition, especially allies of Navalny, who is serving a two-and-a-half year jail term on old fraud charges. Authorities have moved to label two of his organisations as "extremist", a designation that could mean lengthy jail terms for members and supporters. acl/jbr/kjl
