RF upheld the verdict of Viktor Stashevskyy

August 16, 2021

The so-called Sevastopol City Court upheld the sentence of Viktor Stashevskyy, who had previously been sentenced to six and a half years in prison. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.

We remind you that on June 4, Russian security forces searched at least 9 houses of Crimeans in Sevastopol suspected of participating in the Jehovah's Witnesses religious organization banned in Russia. As a result, 52-year-old Viktor Stashevskyy was detained, but the next day he was released from the detention center on recognizance not to leave. On October 19, the so-called Gagarinsky District Court of the occupied Sevastopol began a new trial of the so-called case against Viktor Stashevskyy, a suspect in participation in the Jehovah's Witnesses religious organization banned in Russia. In March 2021, the so-called Gagarinsky District Court of Sevastopol sentenced Stashevskyy to six and a half years in prison.
