Four DOXA editors were sentenced to two years of correctional labour in a case of involving minors in protests (Paragraphs A and C of Part 2 of Article 151.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) for a video in which they appealed to the authorities and urged them to stop intimidating students ahead of the January 2021 protests.
