Dmitry Demushkin was sentenced to two and a half years in prison

On April 25, the Nagatinsky District Court of Moscow sentenced nationalist Dmitry Demushkin to two and a half years in prison in a penal colony, accused of inciting hatred and enmity using the Internet. Earlier today, during the debate of the parties, the prosecutor asked for just such a punishment for Demushkin.

According to investigators, in October 2014, Demushkin posted two extremist graphic images in open access on his page on one of the social networks on the Internet in order to incite hatred and enmity towards a certain group of people. According to the Moscow prosecutor's office, in this way the nationalist committed a crime, the responsibility for which is provided for by Part 1 of Article 282 of the Criminal Code (incitement of hatred or enmity, as well as humiliation of human dignity).
