A Moscow court on June 11 sentenced a 59-year-old resident to 10 days in jail for wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with Ukrainian symbols and the slogan "Glory to Ukraine." Andrei Yevseyev was found guilty of promoting extremist symbols. Police searched his apartment after he was detained on June 8 for wearing the T-shirt in question. A day earlier, the same court sentenced Viktoria Mumrina to seven days in jail on the same charge. Mumrina was accused of wearing a necklace with a pendant in the form of a Ukrainian trident.
