A court in Moscow has sentenced the Russian politician to eight and a half years in prison Ilia Yashin by means of “spread false information” about “the actions of the Russian army” in the Ukrainian war. The deputy denounced the Russian armed forces in a direct stream on his YouTube channel for the war crimes commission in Bucha (Ukraine).
Yashin was charged in a trial that began in July when he served 15 days of administrative detention on charges of “disobeying a police officer’s order”.
Amnesty International warned at the time that Yashin could be sentenced to 10 years in prison under Article 207.3 of the Penal Code, amended after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Rather the opponent Alexey Gorinov He was condemned by the same article for describing Russia’s actions as a “war”, described by the state as a “special military operation”.
Yashin has argued that his comments about what happened in Bucha are nothing more than his personal opinion of an incident.
In one of the first protests, the NGO Human Rights Watch deplored the verdict against the opponent as part of the Russian authorities’ “ongoing effort” to “dismantle and behead the peaceful political opposition and any criticism of the Kremlin’s war” .
