Additional information:

Svetlana Anokhina reported that the law enforcers visited her mother because of her «wrong» publication. The journalist notes that she left Dagestan a year ago, but the police discovered this «only today». The reason for her leaving, she says, was the unwillingness of law enforcement to protect her and the women whom human rights activists had helped through the Marem project. «They came to my mother’s house, showed a piece of paper, a printout with my ’wrong’ post... I don’t understand several things. Why you did not like just one post? What did you want to hear from my 93-year-old mother...? You should also conduct a search!», — Anokhina wrote on her Instagram page.
