FSB “employees” state that have no reason to stipulate Prykhodko

June 10, 2020

UFSB “employees” in the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol during the so-called court session testified that during the operational-search activities they found improvised improvised substances in the garage of pro-Ukrainian activist Oleg Prykhodko, but they did not know anything about planning any terrorist actions. It is reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.

“These officers during the interrogation showed that they had not previously carried out any operational-search measures against Oleg Prykhodko. They are not aware of the preparation of any terrorist acts. They do not know that Oleg Prykhodko bought any explosives, tried to construct an improvised explosive device, read some briefings”,- said lawyer Sheikhmambetov.

We remind that on February 8, 2019, Russian security officials searched the dwelling of pro-Ukrainian activist Oleg Prykhodko in the village of Orikhove, Saky District.

On October 9, 2019, Russian security officials again broke into Oleh Prykhodko’s dwelling and kidnapped him. On October 10, a search was conducted in his dwelling, during which the man was detained. His wife Liubov Prykhodko was also detained. The activist is accused of “terrorism" and “manufacture of explosives.” The woman was detained as a witness, but later released. On October 10, the so-called Kyiv District Court arrested Oleg Prykhodko until December 10. Later Prykhodko’s DNA samples were illegally taken. According to lawyer Nazim Sheikhmambetov, this was done for the purpose of falsifying evidence. The political prisoner had his measure of restraint repeatedly extended.
