The case of Lida Moniava transferred to the central office of the TFR

The criminal case against the founder of the hospice “House with a lighthouse” Lida Moniava was demanded in the central office of the TFR. This was reported by her lawyer Mikhail Biryukov.

Initially, according to the lawyer, the case should have been transferred to court yesterday. “We can only guess about the grounds and consequences of such a decision,” Mr. Biryukov wrote on Facebook (owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia).

Moniave is accused of spreading fake news about the Russian army. The reason for the persecution, as specified by “Kommersant” Mr. Biryukov, was her post published in February 2023. In September, the court did not send the founder of the “House with a lighthouse” to the pre-trial detention center and limited itself to banning certain actions. Later, Lida Moniava announced her resignation from the post of director of the Hospice House with a Lighthouse.
