SK summoned 11 DOXA editors for questioning in one day

The Investigative Committee summoned 11 DOXA editors for questioning in one day. About it reported edition only.

As noted by DOXA, the investigator said that he wants to summon 10 more employees of the publication for questioning. In total, the department has conducted or is going to conduct in the near future 36 interrogations with DOXA editors.

On the morning of April 14, 2021, four journalists of the DOXA student publication – Armen Aramyan, Alla Gutnikova, Vladimir Metelkin and Natasha Tyshkevich – were searched. After that, they were taken for interrogation to the Investigative Committee, and then to the court for a meeting on choosing a preventive measure: all four were assigned a ban on certain actions with strict restrictions.

The editors of the magazine are accused of involving minors in dangerous activities (part 2 of article 151.2 of the Criminal Code). The investigation believes that Armen Aramyan, Alla Gutnikova, Vladimir Metelkin and Natasha Tyshkevich urged teenagers to go to uncoordinated rallies in support of the founder of the Anti-Corruption Fund, Alexei Navalny, which took place in winter. This is a video message from the magazine, in which the editors addressed readers during the winter protests.

Initially, DOXA editors were accused of involvement in dangerous activities of two or more minors (clause “a”, part 2 of article 151.2 of the Criminal Code) via the Internet (clause “c” of part 2 of article 151.2 of the Criminal Code), and later the accusation of committing crimes by a group of persons (clause “b”, part 2 of article 151.2 of the Criminal Code).
