Case Description
In Voronezh, a criminal case was opened against 23-year-old local resident Ekaterina Knyazeva for public calls to commit terrorist activities and for justifying terrorism. The date of her detention is unknown.
According to the investigation, on September 15, 2022, Knyazeva, speaking out against the "special military operation," left a comment in a Telegram chat. The comment contained elements justifying the explosion that killed Darya Dugina on August 20, 2022. On September 30, 2022, she left another comment in the same chat with elements calling for the physical destruction of people gathered in the Kremlin to listen to the address of the Russian president.
No information is available on the measure of restraint.
On April 3, 2026, the 2nd Western District Military Court found Ekaterina Knyazeva guilty and sentenced her to 2 years in a general-regime correctional colony. The court also deprived her of the right to engage in activities related to administering websites on the internet for 2 years.
