The defense did not see evidence of the charges in the case of Nadezhda Kevorkova
There is not a single piece of evidence in the criminal case against journalist Nadezhda Kevorkova, except for the examination. This was stated by the defense.
 
Earlier, the state prosecution gave only a week to complete familiarization with the volumes of the criminal case.
 
Kevorkova is charged under Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (public calls for terrorist activity, public justification of terrorism or propaganda of terrorism). The maximum punishment provided for by such a charge is imprisonment for up to 7 years.
 
The reason for initiating the criminal case were posts in Nadezhda's personal Telegram channel. One of them is a text by the murdered journalist Orkhan Dzhemal, her close friend.
 
Another reason was another post from 2021, which allegedly contained a "justification" for the activities of the Taliban, banned in the Russian Federation. It is noteworthy that at the end of May 2024, the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Justice announced that the Taliban could be removed from the list of banned organizations.
 
The defense noted that Nadezhda Kevorkova is an active volunteer for the Solidarity Foundation, helping seriously ill children and low-income people. The journalist has repeatedly visited the Gaza Strip with the support of the Russian Foreign Ministry and covered the situation in the Middle East, worked in Iraq and Iran.
 
In addition, Kevorkova is the author of three books about Palestine and numerous articles on religion.
