Court upholds fine for stand-up comedian from North Ossetia for anti-war posts

The Fifth Court of Cassation upheld a fine of 50 thousand rubles for stand-up comic Ariana Lolaeva for an anti-war post. This was reported by the Center for the Protection of Human Rights "Memorial".

Last year, Ariana Lolaeva posted a message on her social networks. “The 60th day of the war fell on Easter,” she wrote. - 60 days of a stunningly senseless dirty brutal war, which will always be spoken of as the main shame of Russia. Some give orders to kill, others go to the territory of a sovereign state and carry out the order. They rob. They rape. They kill. Peaceful inhabitants. Just. They can do everything, because the state has firmly protected them by stamping a lot of laws “on fakes”.

Employees of the Center for Economic Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of North Ossetia reacted to the publication. They drew up a protocol on "discrediting" the Russian army. He was supported by all three courts.
