Activists of "Rubezh Sever" appealed the verdict

In early January 2016, it became known that Dmitry Ilchukov and Denis Polyakov, members of the Frontier of the North movement, had appealed the verdict in the Komi Republic. On December 8, 2015, they were sentenced by the Syktyvkar city court to 3.6 and 3.1 years in a penal colony. Aleksey Kolegov, leader of Frontier of the North, did not appeal against the verdict.
On January 9, 2016, in the Komi Republic, lawyer Anton Kosyrev, who defended the leader of the Frontier of the North, Alexei Kolegov, announced that his client would not challenge the verdict. On December 8, 2015, the Syktyvkar court sentenced the leader of the leader movement "Frontier of the North" Alexei Kolegov to four years in prison freedom for torture with the use of torture as part of a group by prior arrangement. Two convicts in the same case appealed the verdict: Dmitry Ilchukov, who was sentenced by the court to three and a half years in a penal colony, and Denis Polyakov, who received three years and one month in prison. The victims involved in the case and the public prosecutor agreed with the court's verdict.

Aleksei Kolegov has been held in custody for nine months.
