Moscow Court Orders Detention of Boris Nemtsov’s Daughter in Absentia
The charge carries up to six years in prison, and the court said she would face two months in detention if extradited or she returns.
- On Friday, Moscow's Zamoskvoretsky District Court ordered the arrest in absentia of Zhanna Nemtsova, daughter of Boris Nemtsov, over her role in an 'undesirable organisation'.
- Russian authorities designated the Germany-based Boris Nemtsov Foundation for Freedom as 'undesirable' in 2024, banning its activities after Nemtsova left Russia in 2015 following her father's killing near the Kremlin.
- Nemtsova faces charges of organizing the activities of this group, carrying a maximum punishment of six years in prison; the court mandated two months of pre-trial detention should she return to Russia.
- Shrugging off the ruling in a Facebook post, Nemtsova wrote, 'I'm famous now,' identifying the foundation registered in Bonn, Germany, as the 'undesirable' target.
- Russia regularly declares entities it says undermine its constitutional order or national security 'undesirable,' subjecting participants to criminal penalties of up to five years for funding or six years for organizing such activities.
