Additional information:

Moscow's Basmanny District Court charged editors of the DOXA student magazine with "inciting minors to participate in illegal activities." The court chose to ban certain actions of Vladimir Metelkin, Alla Gutnikova, Armen Aramyan and Natasha Tyshkevich: they are not allowed to leave the house except for walks from 8 to 10 am and use the Internet, which de facto means the house arrest. Relaxation in the form of exercise was granted to the accused following an appeal against the measure of restraint in Mosgorod Court. On 9 June, the Basmanny District Court extended the measure of restraint for a further three months until 14 September.
