A Moscow court has ordered the arrest in absentia of Stone for two months pending trial on several terrorism-related counts. Additionally, Stone has been placed on Russia's list of "terrorists and extremists." This action is part of a broader pattern of Russia's stringent measures against what it perceives as extremist activities.
