Nadezhda Kevorkova's arrest was extended for a month and a half

The Basmanny Court of Moscow extended the arrest of 65-year-old writer and journalist Nadezhda Kevorkova until August 6. In court, she said that she agreed with the lawyer, who asked to release her client from custody and stated that the woman did not pose a danger to society.

The reason for initiating a criminal case was posts in Nadezhda’s personal Telegram channel. One of them is the text of the murdered journalist Orhan Dzhemal, her close friend. Another reason was another post from 2021, which concerned the “justification” of the activities of the Taliban, banned in the Russian Federation. At the end of May 2024, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Justice announced that the Taliban could be removed from the list of prohibited organizations.

The defense noted that Nadezhda Kevorkova is an active volunteer of the Solidarity Foundation, helping seriously ill children and low-income people. The journalist repeatedly visited the Gaza Strip with the support of the Russian Foreign Ministry and covered the situation in the Middle East, worked in Iraq and Iran.

Kevorkova is the author of three books about Palestine and numerous articles on religion.
