The Guardian has published an article about Daria Egereva — an activist, a representative of the Selkup people, and one of Russia's most prominent Indigenous rights defenders — who has been held in pretrial detention for several months on charges of "extremism."


The piece covers not only Daria's case but also the broader situation of Indigenous peoples in Russia: the pressure on activists, the impact of the climate crisis in the Arctic, the extraction of oil, gas, and minerals on traditional lands, and how the war and intensifying repression have affected the lives of Indigenous communities.

The Guardian also highlights Daria Egereva's role as a key representative of the international Indigenous movement, having taken part in climate negotiations and international forums.
