Russian mathematician and blogger Mikhail Verbitsky has been detained at the Yerevan airport. Russian authorities previously placed him on the wanted list, considering him a terrorist, and may in all likelihood request his extradition.
The administration of IK-14 Gorka-Muravyovskaya (Arkhangelsk region) began to threaten with physical violence 19-year-old Kevin Lik from Adygea, convicted in a treason case.
The young man cannot contact his relatives and lawyer. His letters do not reach his family. After complaining, he began to come under pressure. His mother wrote appeals to the Public Monitoring Commission and the prosecutor's office.
In December 2023, Kevin Leak was sentenced to four years in prison. According to security officials, the young man was filming a military unit in Maykop and sending photographs by email to “representatives of a foreign state.” The investigation claimed that the defendant’s actions were caused by “disagreement with the political course” of the Russian authorities and the start of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
