Russia lifts restrictions on NGO head Moniava after criminal case dropped

Russia's Federal Penitentiary Service lifted all court-imposed restrictions on Lidya Moniava, head of the Dom s Mayakom foundation, following cancellation of her criminal prosecution. Her lawyer confirms the electronic bracelet was removed but the official ruling is not yet in hand. This marks a reversal in the state's treatment of a prominent civil-society figure, though the legal basis and broader implications remain unclear.
