Daria Polyudova appealed the verdict

Activist Daria Polyudova, who was sentenced to two years in a colony-settlement for publishing "extremist" and "separatist" materials on the Internet, on Wednesday appealed the sentence in the Krasnodar regional court.

“Today, an appeal was filed against the verdict of the Oktyabrsky District Court of Krasnodar. I plead not guilty, I demand that I be acquitted. I believe that during the consideration of my case by the court, my rights were grossly violated, since the arguments of the defense during the judicial investigation were ignored, and the verdict itself almost word for word repeats the indictment, ”Polyudova told Interfax- South .
