A group of young anarchists were punished by the fascist Russian state to long prison sentences each. They were accused have formed a terrorist organization. Fake charges.
Take a look at the “network” and their friends. Do these people look like a danger to the state?
From Novaya Gazeta: “The Volga District Military Court in the building of the Penza Regional Court sentenced those involved in the “Network” case to inhumane terms. From 6 to 18 years in prison for organizing and participating in a terrorist community. What evidence the court took into account and why it decided to give such a long sentence remains a mystery. The court limited itself to announcing only the introductory and operative parts of the verdict.
*Network is a terrorist organization banned in Russia.”
