A Moscow district court has sentenced Russian blogger Alexey Navalny’s press secretary Kira Yarmysh to 1.5 years of custodial restraint on charges of incitement to violate sanitary regulations during an unsanctioned rally in Moscow in January 2020.

Axar.az informs that this was reported by Russian media.

"The court sentenced Yarmysh to 1.5 years of custodial restraint," the press service of the Moscow Preobrazhensky district court told TASS on Monday.

She was found guilty of inciting to violate sanitary norms (part 4, article 33, part 1, article 236 of the Russian Criminal Code). She is banned from visiting places where mass events are occurring and taking part in them, change her residence without notifying a penitentiary inspection, leaving Moscow and the Moscow region without consent from a specialized body and must appear at the penitentiary inspection once a week.

The prosecutor demanded a two-year custodial restraint for her.
