Additional information:

In Ingushetia, Isabella Yevloyeva, the editor-in-chief of the opposition newspaper Fortanga, was prosecuted for «fakes» because of a post in a Telegram channel accusing Russian soldiers of crimes in Bucha. Yevloyeva is outside the Russian Federation, so the Investigative Committee summoned her father and daughter for questioning. «The daughter refused to testify under Article 51, and the elderly father was asked about my exact whereabouts and what I do. They asked why I was registered at my parents’ place and what my brothers were doing. They tried to put psychological pressure on my father in this way», — Yevloyeva said.
