Russia launches social media campaign to ‘free’ accused spy

The Russian foreign ministry launched a social media campaign Thursday to “free Maria Butina,” the alleged Russian spy charged with
infiltrating GOP social circles to pass information back to Moscow ahead of the 2016 election.
“We are starting a flash mob in her support,” read a tweet from the agency’s official Twitter account asking users to change their social-media profile pictures to a photo of Butina and tweet using the hashtag #FreeMariaButina.
The
ministry also changed its profile image to a photo of the red-headed 29-year-old Butina.
Butina, who sits behind bars without bail in a federal holding facility, was
a “celebrity in Russia,” according to US prosecutors.
A year after she moved to Moscow in 2010, she founded the pro-gun-rights group, The Right to Bear Arms, and quickly gained notoriety as an up-and-coming political influencer.
