The North Caucasus District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced the six-year-old Ukrainian Pavel Grib to the six years of the colony. He was found guilty of the promotion of terrorist activities - according to investigators, he tried to convince the schoolgirl Tatyana E. from Sochi to arrange a terrorist attack on the final evening. The investigation also argued that he is a supporter of the prohibited and recognized extremist organization of UNA-UNSO in the Russian Federation.

The mushroom did not plead guilty. His lawyer Marina Dubrovina claimed in court that other people had access to Skype in Skype, which were used by the mushroom - and that they could send messages about the manufacture of explosives Tatyana. In a commentary "Medusa" she said that she would appeal the verdict; According to her, the investigation does not have evidence of her client’s involvement in correspondence, which formed the basis of the case.

Pavel Grib was detained in 2017. At the end of August, relatives announced his disappearance in the Belarusian Gomel, where he came to meet with a Russian girlfriend.It turned out that the young man is in a pre -trial detention center in Krasnodar. In court, Russian police said that they detained him in Yartsevo, Smolensk region, allegedly receiving operational information about a suspicious person at the station and then discovering that he was wanted. The mushroom says that he was abducted in Belarus by the FSB officers in civilian clothes.

Tatyana E., after the meeting with which the mushroom was detained, told reporters that she met a young man on the Internet and, after graduating from school in 2017, wanted to move to him to Ukraine - and there she would go to the camp of training volunteers. According to her, after an attempt to issue a passport, FSB officers came to her (probably gaining access to her correspondence) and offered a deal - she had to arrange a meeting with the mushroom so that the special services realized “whether he is real.” After that, she was supposed to issue a passport; FSB officers allegedly told her that they would not arrest anyone.

Tatyana told Novaya Gazeta that she discussed the situation with the mushroom, and “he decided that there should be a meeting,” otherwise they “never meet”. They saw on March 24 in Gomel - the meeting did not last long and took place in the presence of Tatyana’s mother (later in court the mushroom suggested that instead of Tatyana, another girl was brought to the meeting). According to the mushroom, when he was going to return to Kyiv, several people put him in a minibus and took him to the Smolensk region. Later in court, he stated that he was "strangled, beaten and tied to his hand."

Close and lawyers of the convict say that after his arrest he had a sharp deteriorated well -being. According to the father, the mushroom has been disabled since childhood; He diagnosed portal hypertension , he should regularly take medicines, but due to inclusion in the list of extremists, he cannot get money to buy them in jail. In the summer, Igor Griba said that his son was beaten by prisoners. During the process, he was repeatedly called an ambulance.

Lawyer Marina Dubrovina told Medusa that the mushroom now “does not see almost anything” - and that the examination revealed the signs of Alzheimer's disease. The Chairman of the PMC of the Rostov Region Leonid Petrashis, in turn, said that the mushroom “speaks perfectly” and “sees normally”, and his diseases “allow him to be detained.” “Without delving into the essence of the criminal case - in a pre -trial detention center, nothing threatens his life or his health. <...> He has a normal state of health, I think this is more and more in order to attract attention, ”Petrashis said.

After the sentence, Pavel Grib said that he announced an unlimited hunger strike-due to the fact that he was not assisted and did not let Ukrainian doctors (Leonid Petrashis told Medusa that, according to the boss, they did not hear such statements after the mushroom returned from the court). Igor Mushroom called the sentence to his son "mortal." “Pavel needs an urgent medical operation that would allow him to continue to live. This period is automatically the end of the death sentence, ”he said . The Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly talked about the desire to exchange Pavel Grib among other Ukrainians for Russians convicted in Ukraine. On March 22, the Vice-Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Irina Gerashchenko said that she proposed to Russia to make a “small exchange” with the participation of the convict, but Russia did not show “no readiness”.
