In Bashkiria, local blogger Rustam Abasalyamov was detained for speaking out about the terrorist attack at Crocus, and he faces charges under the article on justifying terrorism, a source told RIA Novosti.
Abasalyamov said during the stream that mourning due to the terrorist attack in Crocus exists only “in your country - in Moscow... we don’t have mourning in Bashkiria.”
The blogger was detained, he apologized and stated that he said “catastrophically wrong things to attract attention.” Abasalyamov faces a case under the article on justification of terrorism.
RIA Novosti has a video of the apology (in the second part of the video).
