The teacher from Komi Nikita Tushkanov was sentenced to five years and six months in a colony on charges of “justification of terrorism” for a post about the explosion of the Crimean bridge. It is reported by Sota from the courtroom. Tushkanov was assigned a ban on site administration for two years.
“I feel exciting, as before the first date. It is expected that there will be some real term, ”Tushkin told the publication to be announced before the verdict.
The prosecution requested 6 years in the colony. The criminal case was considered for one meeting.
"Mediazona" published the last word of Tushkanova, with whom he performed the day before:
“I loved and love my homeland, but my love changed due to how my country behaved in relation to its citizens (including veterans, leaving them on the sidelines of life) and in the international arena.
Still engaged in search activities, I realized that the war is beautiful only in parades, but in fact - this is only death. And the whole truth about the war can tell those whose remains in my hands carried out of the forests and swamps. War is a crime, and its displacement is a crime that has no excuse.
I do not accept terrorist actions, I do not approve and I am extremely negative. He did not carry out calls for terrorist activities. From the very launch of the bridge, it was used by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The bridge acts as a military logistics chain in the war with Ukraine. Thus, damage to the bridge cannot be recognized as a terrorist act.
Recognizing the undermining of the Crimean bridge by an act of terrorism from Ukraine, the authorities of the Russian Federation themselves continuously cause missile strikes in Ukraine. The world is on the verge of nuclear war, and it all started with the actions of the Armed Forces of Russia and personally the commander in chief.
In the soul of each person, his own front line passes. The hearts of millions of Russians are on the line of fire. We are all in a state of mental civil war, and the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, the Federation Council and the State Duma unleashed it. ”
Earlier, Memorial recognized Tushkanov as political prisoner. “We believe that the words imputed by Tushkin is guilty under Art. 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation as “justifying terrorism”, cannot be considered as an encouraging someone to commit an action of a terrorist nature. His persecution under this article continues the state campaign to “clean up” from dissenters and is a reaction to his anti -war statements, ”the statement of human rights activists said.
The court in Syktyvkar arrested Tushkin in December last year. Before that, they came to his house with a search.
On October 10, 2022, Tushkin posted a photo with destruction after missile shelling of Ukrainian cities with the signature: "The revenge of Putin's fascism for the Crimean bridge." He also called the explosion on the Kerch bridge "a gift for the birthday of Putler."
In March 2021, Tushkanov was fired from the school where he taught history, after a picket and posts in support of political prisoners. The dismissal order says that he committed an “immoral misconduct”.
