Russian human rights activist Svyatoslav Khromenkov said authorities at a prison in Siberia placed 62-year-old anti-war activist Natalya Filonova under stricter prison conditions. Filonova is now being held in a part of the facility where inmates are under stricter control, have limited access to other parts of the prison, and visits by friends and relatives are limited. Filonova is serving a 17-month prison term on a charge of attacking police officers at a rally in 2022 as a protest against the military mobilization to the war in Ukraine. Filonova rejects the charge as politically motivated. To read the original story by Current Time, click here.
