    Another fucked up part, she wasn’t even the one wearing the flag.

    In Nizhny Novgorod, a girl was arrested for 5 days for rainbow earrings - “ Aegis ”.

    Presumably, the denunciations were written by supporters of Vladislav Pozdnyakov. A video with a girl in rainbow earrings and a young man with a badge with the flag of Ukraine attached to his jacket appeared on Pozdnyakov’s Telegram channel on January 29. In the video, its authors approached young people and demanded that they remove the “forbidden symbols.”

    Afterwards, the girl was summoned for a conversation at the Center for Combating Extremism and, according to human rights activists, there, “despite the efforts of the defense lawyer,” she was detained and left overnight until the trial.

    The next day, the Nizhny Novgorod resident was arrested for 5 days under the article on “public demonstration of prohibited symbols” (Part 1 of Article 20.3 of the Administrative Code).
