[Regnum] Journalist and writer Nadezhda Kevorkova was arrested in the case of justifying terrorism, the Telegram channel “Courts of General Jurisdiction of the City of Moscow” reported on May 7.

“The court granted the request of the investigating authorities to select a preventive measure in the form of detention for a period of 2 months, that is, until July 6, 2024,” the authors indicated.

Kevorkova was charged with committing crimes under Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Public calls for terrorist activities, public justification of terrorism or propaganda of terrorism”).

As Regnum reported, on the morning of May 6, searches were carried out in Kevorkova’s apartment. During the search, they found posters with the inscriptions “they are not terrorists” and “a better rally.” Then the journalist was taken to the Investigative Committee. According to Izvestia, Kevorkova was on friendly terms with terrorists, including the coordinator and founder of radical Islamic foundations Israil Akhmednabiev, known as Abu Umar Sasitlinsky
…a Dagestani preacher and founder of the Mukhadzhirun Islamic Foundation (Living Heart), which raised funds for ISIS...
(listed by Rosfinmonitoring as terrorists and extremists), and other persons associated with the activities of terrorist organizations.

In addition, the journalist on her social networks justified the attack on Nalchik in 2005,
…an raid by Caucasian Front jihadis (subsequently Al Qaeda-linked Caucasian Emirate, then ISIS-linked on Russian Vilayat Kavkaz) on Russian security forces that left 320 casualties including 125 civilians…
as well as the activities of the Taliban movement (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation). Kevorkova did not admit her guilt.
