> A Novosibirsk court ordered activist and human rights advocate Larisa Mikhailova held for two months after a security-force search of her apartment. Her daughter said Mikhailova was charged with publicly calling for terrorist activity online, likely over a mention of “The Internationale,” and called the detention “payback” for her civic activism.
