Case Description
In St. Petersburg in late April 2026, 42-year-old local resident, activist Polina Amelina, was detained. She stopped responding to contact, and her relatives and friends had to turn to Liza Alert to search for her. It later turned out that the woman had been taken to a police station, where an administrative offense report for petty hooliganism was fabricated against her.
On 30 April 2026, the court sentenced her to 10 days of administrative arrest.
Amelina was supposed to be released from the special detention center on 9 May, but instead she was taken from there to a temporary detention facility (IVS): a criminal case on participation in a terrorist community had been opened against the activist; the details of the charges are unknown.
Amelina's acquaintances consider her prosecution politically motivated and the pretext for the initial detention far-fetched.
