Zemfira takes Justice Ministry to court over ‘foreign agent’ designation
Source: Meduza
Singer Zemfira Ramazanova has filed a lawsuit against Russia’s Justice Ministry, requesting that her inclusion on the ministry’s list of “foreign agents” be declared illegal. State broadcaster RBC reports that a representative of the singer filed the suit on her behalf on May 10.
At the time of publication, Zemfira had not responded to Meduza’s request for comment.
The Justice Ministry included Zemfira on its list of “foreign agents” on February 10, saying that the singer had “openly supported Ukraine and received support from overseas sources.”
Zemfira responded in song.
