Additional information:

Rezontova’s preventive measure in the Nizhny Novgorod «sanitation case» was tightened. She was sent under house arrest for two months. Previously, she was only banned from using the Internet and communicating with other suspects. The reason was two detentions of Rezontova in February, when she walked through the city carrying a yellow and blue bag with the slogan «No to War» on it. Rezontova is accused of violating sanitary rules (Article 236 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) while holding two rallies in support of Alexey Navalny.
