Details: A 30-year-old tourist from Iran reportedly walked into the centre of the Russian capital wearing a Balenciaga sweatshirt with a trident, Ukraine’s coat of arms, on the sleeves, the flag of Ukraine on one side and a call to help Ukrainians on the other.
Moscow law enforcement officers took the Iranian to the Kitay-gorod police station, where an administrative report was drawn up against him for allegedly "discrediting the Russian forces".
A court in Moscow also fined the Iranian citizen RUB 50,000 (about US$370).
