Perm social activist Yushkov is amnesty according to the 280th article

The judge of the Perm Chief of Crimea Natalya Kazakova applied an amnesty announced to the 70th anniversary of the Victory over Germany, to the associate professor of the Perm State University and the publicist Roman Yushkov, who received a suspended term under part 280 of the Criminal Code (public calls for extremism using the media) for publishing an article on 2013 unrest in Pugachev , Saratov region. This was announced on Thursday by "Periscopalist".

As Kommersant specified , along with the appeal of Yushkov, the regional court also considered the submission of the prosecutor’s office, dissatisfied with the fact that the court of first instance justified the public leader for another prosecution - in the initiation of hatred or enmity (part 1 of Article 282 of the Criminal Code). Nevertheless, the appeal instance rejected the protest of the supervisory authority, confirming the innocence of a public leader under the 282nd article.

On March 10, the judge of the Motovilikhinsky district court of Perm Marina Azarenova passed the verdict on March 10. She condemned the social activist by one and a half years conditionally with a two -year trial period and a two -year ban on making journalism. The activist himself did not plead guilty.

Yushkov’s article “Hantria in Pugachevsky” was placed on July 29, 2013 in the Perm Regional newspaper Zvezda. In this publication, the social activist criticized the Saratov police for the inability to counteract "ethnoprefinition".

The case against Yushkov aroused and investigated the FSB. The victim was the regional association of Chechens and Ingush "Commonwealth" represented by the head of the organization Adlan Musaev. On June 10, 2014, the case was sent to the Motovilikhinsky District Court, but the judge returned it to the investigation. A second accusation to Yushkov was brought on January 26, 2015. All this time, the social activist remained under the subscription about the wonness.

At the same time, the same court considered a civil case on the recognition of the article by Yushkov with extremist material. The citizen’s lawyer Alexander Strukov pointed out the inadmissibility of transferring the materials of the criminal case - expert conclusions, reports and protocols - to civilian, but judge Marina Vyazovskaya did not make a decision in favor of the activist. After that, the article by Yushkov was removed from the site "Star".

The decision of Vyazovskaya influenced the recognition of a public activist guilty of a criminal case.

The decision of the Perm Chief of Crimea is not the first case of applying the current amnesty to convicts under the 280th article. Earlier in May, the blogger Stanislav Kalinichenko was amnestied in Kemerovo, and in Ivanovo - the left activist Elizabeth Lisitsin (Krasikova) . Both courts of first instance were sentenced to fines. The courts of the second instance refused to recognize Kalinichenko and Lisitsin innocent, but exempted them from the payment of these fines.
