Jevgenij Misjtjenko

Russian activist sentenced for Ukraine sympathies

A Russian court has sentenced a Russian activist to 12 years in a penal colony since a security agent recorded conversations where the man expressed his intention to join the banned legion "Freedom for Russia" which supports Ukraine in the war. The charges against activist Jevgenij Misjtjenko were based on a conversation recorded by a security agent who posed as a volunteer at a memorial for Boris Nemtsov, an opposition politician who was killed in 2015.
