Russian Police reportedly launch investigation against Nemtsov ally because of tweet calling for regime change
Tue Oct 27, 2015 7:21 pm
Ilya Yashin, the deputy chairman of the opposition party Parnas, announced today that an anti-extremism task force in the Russian Interior Ministry is investigating one of his tweets from July 2015. Yashin is suspected of inciting "social discord" by writing that the "best memorial to Boris [Nemtsov] would be regime change."
Yashin wrote on Facebook today that he received a call from someone identifying himself as a member of the police's anti-extremism unit. The caller informed him that there is a criminal investigation underway based on Yashin's tweet, published on July 14, 2015.
Yashin says he refused to appear at the police station to give an explanation of his tweet.
