He called for the assassination of Putin: an activist was convicted in the Russian Federation

The Second Western District Military Court in Moscow sentenced Solidarity movement activist Mikhail Krieger to seven years in prison on charges of “justifying terrorism” and calling for the execution of Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, Mediazona reports .

The Russian has been accused of justifying terrorism and inciting hatred with the threat of violence.

Prosecutors claim that Krieger attempted on the lives of FSB officers and called for Putin to be executed by hanging. In particular, we are talking about activist-related posts and comments on Facebook.

“I do not hide from anyone my deep hatred for the regime, the Chekists who founded it, and personally for Putin VV And believe me, when and if I live to see the GB nit hanged, I will fight with strength and primarily for the right to participate in this exciting event” , – said in a comment from 2020, published under a post about Mikhail Zhlobitsky, who carried out the explosion in the Arkhangelsk FSB department, and Yevgeny Manyurov, who decided to attack the FSB building in Lubyanka.

Krieger said in the last word that he really wanted to live to see “Putin hanged.” He believes that his posts are just a pretext for prosecution and that he is being tried for his “anti-war, and now openly pro-Ukrainian position.”

The activist was detained and sent to a pre-trial detention center in November 2022.

Recall that the famous Russian actor Artur Smolyaninov, who spoke out against the war in Ukraine, was identified as a “foreign agent”.

It was previously reported that singer Alla Pugacheva asked the Russian Ministry of Justice to call her a “foreign agent” after her husband Maxim Galkin.
