A Russian charity director was placed under a curfew after publicly criticizing the army, according to local media. The measure came as authorities intensified control over public dissent. The director, who works with a humanitarian organization, faced restrictions on movement and communication.
The incident follows a pattern of increased scrutiny on individuals expressing views critical of military operations. Officials have previously imposed similar measures on activists and journalists. The charity director’s comments were seen as a challenge to state narratives on military conduct.
Authorities have not issued formal charges, but the curfew is part of broader efforts to limit public criticism. The director’s organization has called for transparency in military operations. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between state control and civil society in Russia.
The case has drawn attention from international human rights groups, though no official statements have been made yet. The director remains under surveillance and is not allowed to leave the city.
