Russia’s top court has ruled that police can confiscate anyone’s electronics for social media posts they deem “extremist” without criminal prosecution.
Police can impound “any property” of an individual deemed to be an extremist or connected to a terrorist organization, according to the ruling from the Russian Supreme Court. “This property may include cellphones, personal computers, other electronic means of communication,” the resolution reads on the Russian Supreme Court’s website, according to a report from The Moscow Times Thursday.
For perspective, Russia considers a wide range of political and religious dissent as “extremist” views. The Jehovah’s Witnesses, a Christian denomination with its world headquarters in New York, was classified last year as “extremist organization”, putting the religious group into the same category as the likes of the Islamic State (ISIS).
Yury Kostanov, a member of Russia’s Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights, told Russian media that “there are too many vague formulations in the Supreme Court’s explanations.” He said that the ruling leaves the door open for “the arrest and confiscation of property from an innocent person.”
On Monday, the U.S. State Department issued a statement calling on Russia to release more than 150 prisoners being held for religious or political reasons. Washington urged Moscow to “cease its use of the legal system to suppress dissent and peaceful religious practice.”
In response, the Russian Embassy in the U.S. said: “Members of the American establishment have no moral right to blame Russia and demand that someone be released.” The embassy added that Russia “rejects any attempts of meddling” within internal affairs.

My Father, who was a hard-hat salvage diver during his time in the Navy, during World War II, worked in the Newport News, Virginia Shipyards and dry docks before that as a welder, constructing "Liberty Ships" to send streams of cargo for England to fight the Nazis. He told me of how the docks in England were so full of ships, and ships waiting to unload, that they radioed back to the USA to hold ships until further notice. The problem was .... to hold those ships would mean that supplies -

The MIT release stated that an effective ventilator needs to control for several variables and situations such as failure to expire the previous breath before the ventilator pushes in a new one (auto PEEP). It recognizes the faults of such a simple design using a BVM, but states that while there are many different situations for a ventilator to treat, a mechanically operated BVM can handle the simplest of them in order to free up more advanced ventilators and pairs of hands for less simple patie
