A resident of Stavropol was convicted for criticizing the Russian military

The Zheleznovodsk City Court sentenced a resident of Stavropol Krai, Oksana Kazantseva, to two years and six months of probation. She was found guilty of public actions aimed at discrediting the use of the Russian Armed Forces.

According to investigators, the woman posted a comment with the words: “Your cotton-wool mug alone is already a big threat. She is the same as the Russian military who went to kill the brotherly people of Ukraine for a piece of meat. They are not just murderers, but child killers and rapists. I know this firsthand.”

Kazantseva admitted her guilt and asked the court to sentence her without a trial. She was also banned from publishing on the Internet for two years and six months.
