The Russian documentation project “If There Were No War” has added Daria Egereva to its database of people deprived of their liberty or prosecuted for civic activity.

The profile identifies Egereva as a Selkup Indigenous rights advocate from Western Siberia and records her detention on 17 December 2025. It lists the charge of participation in a terrorist organisation under Article 205.5, Part 2, of the Russian Criminal Code.

The case overview places her arrest within a coordinated wave of searches and questioning targeting at least 17 Indigenous activists and human rights defenders in several Russian regions. It also links to profiles of Natalia Leongardt, Eduard Baltykov and Konstantin Vorobyov as other people involved in the case.

The page provides information about writing letters and other ways to support people in detention. Readers should consult the original profile for its latest details. This summary refers to a profile first added on 21 December 2025.
