The prosecutor’s office of the occupied Crimea has appealed the verdict against the pro-Ukrainian activist Oleg Prykhodko. The invaders want to change their mind and sentence the man to 11 years in a strict regime colony. This was reported by the “Crimean Solidarity” public association.
"The prosecutor's office really filed an appeal, this is their right, they want to more than double the punishment," -said the lawyer Sergei Legostov.
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.
