A Russian teenager was reportedly fined 10,000 roubles (£103) for leaving an abusive comment on a social media post about the Taliban after Moscow hosted the Afghan movement’s leaders in a push to strengthen diplomatic ties.
Yegor A, 19, was fined by a court in Rostov-on-Don on 5 June, according to Meduza, a news outlet reporting on Russia, which cited a Telegram channel called Ostorozhno Novosti as the source.
