The Case of Lida Moniava Was Requested by the Central Office of the Investigative Committee

Lawyer Mikhail Biryukov wrote on Facebook, citing the investigator, that the criminal case against the founder of the hospice “House with a Lighthouse”, Lida Moniava, was requested by the central office of the Investigative Committee. Meduza reported that, according to Biryukov, the case was initially supposed to be sent to court on September 30.

Biryukov wrote: “We can only guess at the grounds and consequences of such a decision”. He added that they are “continuing to prepare for the trial together”.

Lida Moniava was detained on September 2 on charges of spreading “fakes” about the Russian army because of a post in her Telegram channel published in February 2023.

The next day, the court imposed a preventive measure on her in the form of a ban on certain actions.
