On Wednesday, December 16, in the Southern District Military Court, the prosecutor asked for pro-Ukrainian activist Oleg Pryhodko, who had been arrested by Russian security officials on charges of terrorism and making explosives, 11 years in a maximum security penal colony with three years in prison.
According to the daughter of the political prisoner Natalia, Prykhodko may also be subjected to an additional penalty in the form of a fine of 200 thousand rubles.
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 Oleg 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.
