Ilya Remeslo was transferred from pre-trial detention (SIZO) to the V.P. Serbsky National Research Center for Psychiatry and Narcology in Moscow.
The transfer occurred on July 26, 2024.
Remeslo is under arrest in connection with a criminal case involving the dissemination of false information about the Russian Armed Forces.
His lawyer, Sergey Badamshin, confirmed Remeslo's presence at the Serbsky Institute and reported that the staff detained his representative’s passport for 1.5 hours before returning it after a police intervention was threatened.
Remeslo had previously been hospitalized in March 2026 at Skvortsov-Stepanov Psychiatric Hospital No. 3 in Saint Petersburg following public criticism of Vladimir Putin.
The case is being investigated by the Main Investigative Directorate of the Russian Investigative Committee.
