Access Now and EFF condemn the arrest of Tor node operator Dmitry Bogatov in Russia https://www.accessnow.org/access-now-eff-condemn-arrest-tor-node-operator-dmitry-bogatov-russia/

He ran a Tor exit from home. “Surveillance footage shows Bogatov and his wife leaving a supermarket four minutes before one of the posts was made on March 29. Given that the supermarket is half a kilometer from their home, it is unlikely that Bogatov could have made it home and posted online within four minutes.”

@micahflee That's insane. Although it's not surprising that the government has no idea how technology works (EG: Series of tubes).
@micahflee I wouldn't be surprised if this is intentional to scare off people from running exit nodes. The fewer there are the more likely you use one under state control

@micahflee Russian reaction and not wanting to see reason are clearly tied to recent protests of March 26 and April 2.

Articles in Russian media in support of Bogatov are easy to autotranslate:
