Russian authorities have closed the criminal case against Lidiya Moniava, the founder and director of the charitable foundation “Dom s maiakom”, known for supporting children with serious illnesses. The investigation was halted after it was found that there were no elements constituting an offense.
Moniava had been detained at the beginning of September and accused of publicly spreading information deemed by the Russian authorities as “false” about the Russian army.
The case started from a post published by Moniava on Telegram in 2023. In it, the activist reported on the cases of Ukrainian civilians who allegedly died as a result of Russian attacks and urged people to make donations to a fund for refugees.
His lawyer, Mihail Biriukov, confirmed that the investigator informed him about the closure of the case and that the authorities no longer have any claims against Moniava. The official decision is to be sent to him by mail.
