The Tverskoy District Court of Moscow has arrested the former editor of the student magazine DOXA Natalya Tyshkevich for 15 days under Article 20.3 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation (demonstration of extremist symbols). The reason was a publication on Instagram in 2017. The court claims that Tyshkevich published an image with symbols of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. DOXA writes that Tyshkevich posted an image of the official coat of arms of Ukraine. Tyshkevich was detained on April 1 outside the courthouse, where a hearing was held in a criminal case of involving minors in protests. Tyshkevich is being tried in the case along with three colleagues.
