Russian sisters face jail time for killing abusive father, sparking outrage in Moscow:

Members of the national guard in Red Square during a concert for Russia Day in June 2018 in Moscow.

Investigators determined that the girls were beaten almost daily by their father in addition to being forced to perform sexual acts, according to The Guardian. On the day of the attack, their father had locked them in a room and sprayed them with pepper spray. “The sisters had only one choice: to defend themselves or die,” Anna Rivina, the head of an anti-domestic violence organization in Moscow, told The Guardian.

In protest, hundreds of people gathered outside the headquarters of the Investigative Committee law enforcement agency last week in Moscow, according to The Guardian. Activists have continued to picket its offices. A larger rally is scheduled for July 6 in Moscow. Protests have also taken place at Russian embassies and consulates around the world.
