The Insider journalist Anna Krasnoperova, who was supposed to cover the protest rally on Sunday, has been under siege by police since last night. On the afternoon of January 31, her parents came to visit her. While they were coming up to the apartment, the tires of their car were punctured. On January 29, an unknown person called her and introduced himself as a police officer, who stated that she is a witness to the robbery and that he needed her testimony. Sometime later, a police car came to the entrance of her house and stayed there for several hours. In the morning, they started to knock and ring into Anna's apartment, but she did not open the door. On January 31, an unknown car without identification signs with a running engine stood at the entrance of her house all day with two people sitting in it.
