The judge of the Naberezhnchelninsky City Court, Dan Shakurov, sentenced the head of the department of the All -Tatar Public Center Rafis Kashapov to three years in prison in a colony of general regime. This was reported to the "Franes" by the lawyer of Raushania Kamalova.
The judge determined the term by partial addition of punishments in two articles. Kashapov was sentenced to two years under part 1 of article 282 (arousal of hatred or enmity) and the same time under part 2 of article 280.1 of the Criminal Code (public calls for separatism via the Internet). As far as is known, this is the first sentence under article 280.1.
Kashapov’s lawyers on this day were busy in other processes, but the judge refused to transfer the meeting. During the announcement of the sentence, only public defenders were present.
According to the public defender Renat Nurgali, the verdict was built on the testimony of random witnesses, who were “brought literally from the street and leading questions were brought to the right answers about the impression” of the publication imputed by Kashapov. Politzek’s defense is going to appeal the verdict.
At a meeting on August 24, the prosecutor of Nabiullin demanded four years for the defendant in a colony . On September 10, in the last word, Kashapov stated that the case was fully fabricated by the FSB , in his actions he does not see any corpus delicti and does not consider himself guilty to the slightest degree.
Kashapov was detained at home on December 28, 2014. The publication was charged with a publication on a personal page on VKontakte in July - December 2014 of three texts and one demotivator. We are talking about the image " where Russia is there - there are tears and death " placed on the social network on July 6, and about the texts " protect Ukraine and the entire Turkic world! " (November 23), " Yesterday - Hitler and Danzig, today - Putin and Donetsk! " (November 26) and " Crimea and Ukraine will be free from the occupiers! " (December 1). At the same time, the author of the first of the texts mentioned is not an activist himself, but his twin brother Nafis Kashapov is also a well -known public figure who has been living in exile in Warsaw since 2005.
As stated in the conclusion of a comprehensive psychological-linguistic and political study, which was based on the accusation, Kashapov’s publications “contain statements and calls of varying degrees of decoration, modeling the language of enmity and aiming at inciting hatred between groups allocated by mixed attribute-nationality, accommodation in a certain territory, attitude towards power,” as well as “psychological signs of information aimed at initiating the growth of ranging ranges (enmity) regarding representatives of the category of “they/aggressor” (“new unrecognized authorities of the peninsula”, “Russian punishers”, “Vladimir Putin”, “Russia”, “Russians”, “Russians”), allocated by a mixed basis. ”
Kashapov does not deny the fact of publication of texts and demotivator . Kamalov’s lawyer noted that there was no crime in Kashapov’s actions. “This is his political views, beliefs,” the lawyer explained.
During his stay in the pre-trial detention center-1 in Kazan, the Politzek twice declared a hunger strike.

The second time - in March - Kashapov was starving, achieving compliance with the rights of Muslim prisoners. He took off both the first and second hunger strike a few weeks after the beginning. During the conclusion, Kashapov developed renal failure.
On April 7, Kashapov’s appeal to Turkey President Tayyip Erdogan and the great national assembly of the country was published. In this document, Politsyk asked to provide him and his family with political asylum. By the will of the political zoom there remained a wife and two children. “I was interrogated in prison several times about whether I collaborated with the Turkish intelligence services and with which public organizations,” the social activist noted.

On January 23, Amnesty International began the international campaign in defense of Kashapov . On April 6, the Union of Solidarity with the political prisoners said that Kashapov was arrested exclusively in connection with the expression of his opinions. On May 22, the Human Rights Center "Memorial" recognized Kashapov as political prisoner .
In April 2009, the activist received a year and a half conditionally for published on a personal blog texts against Russification and Christianization, as well as the appeal of the Chechen armed underground. In September of the same year, all these texts were recognized as extremist .
In 2003, the social activist spent three and a half months in the pre -trial detention center, but was justified by the court, since the examination did not find signs of extremism in his leaflets.
