In Russia a 73-year-old Ludmila Bogatenkova, head of a regional Committee of Soldiers Mothers, who has been investigating the deaths of Russian conscripts in Ukraine has reportedly been moved to a SIZO (pre-trial detention centre) 140 kilometres from her home city a day after her arrest on highly dubious charges. This is despite her age and a serious medical condition resulting in her being taken ill several times on Oct. 18 and an ambulance being called to the court.
