The FSB added the Network to the unified federal list of terrorist organizations. Kommersant drew attention to the update in the document.

On January 17, the Moscow District Military Court issued a corresponding decision. On March 14, the decision came into force.

According to the authorities, the Network is a terrorist organization, which allegedly has cells in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Penza and Belarus.

According to the prosecution, they were preparing terrorist attacks in Russia in order to raise an armed rebellion.

• The defendants in the Network case talked about psychological pressure, electric shock torture and weapons that FSB officers planted on them. Some of them refused to confess and said that they gave them under torture.
• The defendant in the case, Igor Shishkin, entered into a pre-trial agreement with the investigation. He has already been sentenced to three and a half years in a general regime colony.
