Kernel Developer Dmitry Monakhov Arrested For Protesting Ukraine Invasion

Posted by timothy on from the man's-inhumanity-to-man dept.

sfcrazy (1542989) writes, based on a report from Ted T'so, that Kernel developer Dmitry Monakhov was detained for 15 days for disobeying a police officer. The debacle came about when Monakhov decided to protest the recent invasion into Ukraine by Russian armed forces. Monakhov is using Twitter to keep people informed about his experience with the Russian judicial system; a human translator can probably do a better job than Google in this case.

    Science is news for nerds.
    The impact of major world events on technology is news for nerds.
    Petulant whining about what subjects you personally don't care about is comments for assholes.
