An 18-year-old #Russian singer, #Diana "#Naoko" #Loginova, who recently performed anti-war songs on #Nevsky_Prospect in #Russia's #St_Petersburg, has been brought to court, in handcuffs.

She is charged with "discrediting the #Russian armed forces" and with "organizing a mass simultaneous presence of citizens in a public place leading to a disturbance of public order" (singing the song to no more than several hundred people).
