The state prosecution requested 9 years of the colony to the administrator of the telegram channel “Protest MSU” Dmitry Ivanov in the case of the military “fakes” (part 2 of Article 207.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), Mediazona reports .
During the court hearing, the prosecutor Julia justice said that Ivanova’s defense “raises the constitutional law of the“ activist to freedom of speech and self -expression.
But this right, in her opinion, may be limited: "In addition to Ivanov’s rights, there are rights of millions of other people - the right to life, protection and security, that is, those rights that, after the coup d'etat in 2014, are violated against the people of Donbass."
This is a literal repetition of the speech of the prosecutor Sergei Belov in the court in the case of Ilya Yashin, the publication notes.
According to Mediazona, most of the publications that the investigation charges Ivanov, calling them “fakes” about the actions of the Russian army, are reposts of other people's statements: the policy of Alexei Navalny, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, Blogger Maxim Katz. The interests of Ivanova in court are represented by lawyer Maria Aismont, who previously defended Alexei Gorinov and Ilya Yashin on similar cases.
In his last word, Dmitry Ivanov said that the investigation of attempts to accuse him of spreading "fakes" was designed by one big fake. " He emphasized that after February 24, "tens of millions of Russians faced an oppressive feeling of guilt", which, on the one hand, is a normal reaction to the ongoing tragedy, and, on the other, is irrationally, since the wine lies on those who unleashed and waging this war. "
Ivanov urged Russians to show the initiative, help refugees, support political prisoners, "do not pass by when someone needs help."
“We love to repeat as the mantra, the words“ Russia will be free! ”But we ourselves. And what it will be, it will only depend on us. We have a lot of work to start now. In this work, I believe, we are doomed to success. Russia will be free. Because we will do it,” Dmitry Ivanov said.
Judge Daria Pugacheva will announce the verdict of Dmitry Ivanov on March 7.
