Ex-mayor of Yaroslavl Evgeny Urlashov was taken from the colony in an unknown direction

The former mayor of Yaroslavl, Yevgeny Urlashov, convicted in the case of attempted bribery, was taken away from correctional colony No. 2 in Rybinsk in an unknown direction. about this Olga Romanova, the founder of the Rus Seated Foundation, wrote in her telegram channel.

Urlashov was taken away from the colony at night from 31 August to 1 September. "Mediazona" with reference to another prisoner of the Rybinsk IK-2 and the commissioner for human rights in the region Sergei Baburkin reports that Urlashov was transferred to another colony.

According to the source of the publication, the former mayor was transferred due to the fact that he “actively collaborated with the press”: for example, Mediazona recalled that in 2018 Urlashov spoke about the abuse of prisoners in the Yaroslavl colonies and the pre-trial detention center in Rybinsk. Against this background, as the interlocutor of the publication admitted, the Federal Penitentiary Service decided that the ex-official was involved in publications about the recruitment of prisoners for the war in Ukraine.

Romanova suggests that the prisoner could have said something “unnecessary” in telephone conversations with relatives or another prisoner wrote a denunciation against him. She noted that when the ex-mayor went on a hunger strike in July, one of his conditions was to remove “convicted F.” from the detachment, who allegedly could write a denunciation.

The ex-mayor went on a hunger strike after the murder of a prisoner in IK-2. He said that supporters of the AUE movement, recognized as extremist, were being transferred to the workers' detachments, who "interfere with the lives" of the rest of the prisoners.

• In 2012, Yevgeny Urlashov became the mayor of Yaroslavl, defeating a United Russia candidate in the elections. And a year later, the politician was arrested in the case of attempted taking of a bribe on an especially large scale (part 6 and paragraph “c” of part 5 of article 290 of the Criminal Code with the application of part 3 of article 30 of the Criminal Code). In 2016, the court sentenced him to 12.5 years in prison in a strict regime colony and a fine of 60 million rubles.
