> A magistrate in Russia’s Ryazan region sentenced Yelena Morgunova, the wife of performance artist Pavel Krisevich, to 14 additional days of administrative detention for allegedly refusing a drug test. Morgunova said she asked to wait for her lawyer before testing, but an officer treated that as a refusal. She had been due for release after an earlier 10-day sentence.
