St. Petersburg street singer Naoko has again been denied release from a detention center.

The third administrative confinement of St. Petersburg vocalist Diana Loginova (Naoko), of the band “Stoptime,” was scheduled to conclude today.

She was anticipated to depart with her partner, Alexander Orlov, but instead, Diana was escorted from the holding facility in a police vehicle. This was the identical vehicle used to detain Orlov following his initial arrest.

The performers have been in custody since the middle of October—initially, they were apprehended for singing tunes by Noize MC and Monetochka in the streets of St. Petersburg. The other member of Stoptime, Vladislav Leontyev, avoided imprisonment the previous time—his rotating sentence finished on November 10.
