Russie : l’historien Alexandre Skobov condamné à seize ans de prison

Ce dissident avait déjà passé huit ans dans des prisons et des hôpitaux psychiatriques d’URSS. Opposé à l’offensive militaire du Kremlin en Ukraine, il est poursuivi pour « apologie du terrorisme ».

The thing is, #Skobov doesn’t want personal #freedom. He wants the criminal regime of murderers to be dismantled and the #war to end. He deliberately didn’t leave #Russia because he believes that his voice is louder from #prison.

Of course, it’s louder. But he will die there. And #Putin won’t even flinch. Skobov’s example both gives me strength and takes my breath away from the injustice of the world we have built and continue to allow to happen.

The #Prosecutor's Office in #Russia has requested 18 years of strict #prison regime for Alexander #Skobov.

Do you know who Skobov is? A 68-year-old history teacher.

Do you know what he was accused of?

1. Opposing the #war with #Ukraine.
2. Calling Russia a regime of #murderers.
3. Calling Russia an #aggressor.
4. Criticizing #Putin.

In other words, 18 years for the #truth.

Five reasons why Trump's mission is impossible

The prosecutor demanded 18 years for dissident Skobov. Trump spoke with Putin on the phone. They agreed to continue negotiations and, in the meantime, play hockey. Five reasons why Trump's mission is impossible.
