It’s worth recalling that the founder of Temirov LIVE channel Bolot Temirov and akin Bolot Nazarov were detained on January 22 on suspicion of using and manufacturing drugs. During a search of the company’s office and a body search, drugs were found at Bolot Temirov, presumably hashish.
Despite the protests of activists and the statement of Temirov LIVE employees who were in the office during the search, that the drugs were planted on Temirov, on January 23, the Sverdlovsk District Court recognized his detention as legal.
