Russia's Pervy Otdel rights group said on August 13 that Darya Trepova, who was sentenced to 27 years in prison for her role in the killing of pro-Kremlin blogger Vladlen Tatarsky (aka Maksim Fomin), was transferred to a prison hospital for unspecified reasons. The rights group's statement was based on information provided by Trepova's husband. Trepova was sentenced in January on charges of terrorism and document forgery. She was arrested after a souvenir she presented to Tatarsky at an event in St. Petersburg in April 2023 exploded and killed the fervent proponent of Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
