Russia drops 'war posts' case against hospice founder Moniava
Original: Russia drops war posts case against children’s hospice founder Moniava
Russian authorities have dropped a case against Elizaveta Moniava, founder of a children's hospice, which stemmed from social media posts about the war in Ukraine. Reuters reported the case's dismissal. The move spares a well-known children's charity figure from prosecution under Russia's laws restricting discussion of the military, and the decision is drawing attention amid ongoing scrutiny of anti-war speech in Russia.
Why now: The state retreat in a prominent 'war posts' prosecution of a beloved children's hospice founder is unusual and significant.
