A Russian court on April 27 ordered a journalist for the Russian edition of Forbes magazine, Sergei Mingazov, to be placed under house arrest. Mingazov was detained by police in the Far Eastern city of Khabarovsk on April 26 on charges of spreading false information about the Russian military. His lawyer, Konstantin Bubon, said his client was detained because of social media posts he made about the Ukrainian city of Bucha, where more than 400 bodies of civilians were found, many bearing signs of torture, after Russian forces pulled out in April 2022. He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
