A Russian guy is to be put behind bars for 2 years after his child produced a ‘No to War’ poster at school.
Children had at the school, in the Tula area, had actually been asked to produce art work motivated by Russian soldiers.
Masha Moskalyova, 13, drew Kremlin rockets targeted at a female and kid and composed the expressions ‘Glory to Ukraine’ and ‘No to War’.
Her single dad, Alexei Moskalyov, was transported into the school and questioned.
Authorities later on discovered he had actually published his assistance for Ukraine online and he was bought to pay a ₤350 fine.
But, the 54- year-old claims, he then dealt with more questioned by the FSB– Putin’s terrifying counterintelligence service.
Masha was required to a ‘rehabilitation centre’, part of the state orphanage system, and Alexei disallowed from seeing her as criminal procedures then started.
Legal action versus him continued culminating in today’s sentence.
Alexei was discovered to have ‘repeatedly discredited the army’ and bought to invest 2 years in a severe chastening nest.
But there was one concern, the single dad wasn’t there to hear the sentence.
Court authorities exposed he had ‘escaped’ the night prior to the court session, with his location unknown.
‘The verdict was announced today, but the defendant was not present because he escaped last night,’ stated court spokesperson Olga Dyachuk.
There was applause from his advocates in the court.
This marks the very first time given that the Soviet age that a kid has actually been separated from a moms and dad based upon political views.
A day previously in the witness box in Efremov, Tula area Alexei had actually stated: ‘Those who are in the court are 90 per cent against the war in Ukraine.’
A petition signed by nearly 150,000 called Masha’s treatment ‘monstrous’ and points out professionals stating there are ‘no legal grounds’ to jail her in a Tula area ‘rehabilitation’ centre.
The woman’s fate will later on be chosen by the social services authorities.
His attorney explained the sentence– which mirrored the need by the district attorneys– as ‘harsh’.
Even the head of the Wagner paramilitary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose guys are defending Putin in Ukraine, used his assistance and criticised the regional authorities.
