The Supreme Court of Russia's Bashkortostan region has remanded in pretrial detention noted activist Ramila Saitova, who was arrested last week over her online posts against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The court rejected Saitova's appeal against her arrest on May 24 after she was charged with "public calls for actions aimed against the country's security." The charge stemmed from her online video address to males mobilized for the war in Ukraine from Bashkortostan, calling on them "to be brave and openly say, 'I do not want to kill.'"
