The Russian Investigative Committee said on Wednesday it would request the court to take two young activists of the New Greatness opposition group, Anna Pavlikova and Maria Dubovik, accused of extremism-related activities, out of custody and place them under house arrest.
MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th August, 2018) The Russian Investigative Committee said on Wednesday it would request the court to take two young activists of the New Greatness opposition group, Anna Pavlikova and Maria Dubovik, accused of extremism-related activities, out of custody and place them under house arrest.
In March, Pavlikova and Dubovik along with seven other members of the New Greatness group were arrested on suspicion of setting up an extremist group in Moscow.
"Tomorrow [on Thursday] an investigator ... of the Russian Investigative Committee will request the court to change the preventive measures from remand in custody to house arrest for Anna Pavlikova, 18, and Maria Dubovik, 19, accused of organizing the New Greatness extremist association .
.. The decision has been taken based on the information about the personalities [of the accused] and the absence of grounds for the girls' further detention," the committee wrote in a post on its Whatsapp channel.
Earlier in August, media reported about the two detainees' sharp deterioration in health. The Russian penitentiary service responded to the claims last week, saying that Pavlikova and Dubovik were in a medical unit and their health condition was assessed as satisfactory and that there was no need for urgent medical assistance.
