Civil activist from Mari Evgeny Pirogov appealed the refusal of parole from the colony

Civil activist Yevgeny Pirogov appealed the refusal to parole from a correctional colony, his representative Sergei Priguzov said on April 18.

A complaint about the decision of the Soviet District Court on March 20 was sent to the Supreme Court of the Republic.

–And the fact that the complaint of Yevgeny Pirogov is registered with the UN Human Rights Committee, we make efforts with the aim of an early liberation. Sooner or later, a legal assessment will be given a court verdict in relation to Eugene, ”said Podazov. - From the very beginning, we consider the deprivation of his freedom illegal. We support his application for parole in this way to minimize the harm caused to a person by a non-legal decision of the state. The process of preparing documents took about three months. When Pirogov prepared documents, the colony administration imposed two penalties on him. What is this? The bias of the relationship? Fursual system practice? Otherwise, how to explain the characteristic of the institution in which it is written: “... the convict is characterized positively, his conventional release is not appropriate ...”? We hope that the Supreme Court of Mari El will give objective answers to these questions.

Evgeny Pirogov was sentenced to two years in prison in May 2016 according to the 282nd, “extremist”, an article for publishing pictures and texts on a social network, which, according to the investigation, caused enmity and hatred of national, religious and racial signs. He is serving a sentence in the correctional colony No. 5 of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in Mari El. In February, Pirogov was placed in the penislator of the institution for 15 days. According to the leadership of the colony, the activist violated the discipline and daily routine.
