He was sentenced to two and a half years in prison on Tuesday “for discrediting the armed forces” after he protested against the conflict in Ukraine and accused President Vladimir Putin of dragging the country towards fascism.
Oleg Orlov was a Russian activist who was sentenced to prison.
After taking part in anti-violence demonstrations and writing an essay with the heading “They wanted fascism,” Mr. Orlov, the leader of the human rights organization “Memorial,” which was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022, was charged with a crime. He or she took it.”
A man named Orlov, who is 70 years old, stated that the judgment demonstrates that his report was accurate and true. In the courthouse in Moscow, he was greeted with applause from his supporters, which included representatives from the embassies of Western nations.
The Memorial Group was established in 1989, and its mission is to investigate the uncovering of human rights crimes that occurred not only during the communist era, but also during the historical period of Russia as it exists today.
The organization issued a statement in which it stated that “the sentence against Mr. Oleg Orlov represents an attempt to silence the voice of activists for the protection of human rights and any criticism of the state.” However, we shall stay committed to our task.
The sentence that Mr. Orlov received was based on legal measures that were enacted after the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine. These rules stipulate prison terms for individuals who are found guilty of spreading disinformation about the armed forces or disparaging the ranks of the armed forces.
(Reuters) – Moscow, February 27th, In a verdict handed down on Tuesday, veteran Russian rights activist Oleg Orlov was found guilty of “discrediting the armed forces” for his actions in protesting against the conflict in Ukraine and accused President Vladimir Putin of heading a spiral into fascism. Orlov was sentenced to two and a half years in jail.
Orlov, who was a leader of the rights group Memorial, which was awarded a portion of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022, was charged with a crime after he participated in anti-war demonstrations and wrote an article with the heading “They wanted fascism.” That is the case.”
When Orlov, who was 70 years old at the time, was being brought away in handcuffs after being convicted, he stated, “The verdict demonstrated that my article was accurate and true.” Supporters in the Moscow courtroom, including representatives from Western embassies, applauded him as he made his statement.
The organization Memorial, which was established in 1989, has been fighting for the right to free speech and documenting violations of human rights from the time of Soviet leader Josef Stalin up until the current day. The organization was declared a “foreign agent” in Russia, which led to its prohibition and eventual dissolution in the year 2021.
“Political hatred of Russia” was the claim made by the prosecution regarding Orlov’s behavior. The “strangulation of freedom” in the country, which he referred to as a “dystopia,” was the subject of his closing arguments during the trial that took place on Monday for the defendant.
“The sentence against Oleg Orlov is an attempt to drown out the voice of the human rights movement in Russia and any criticism of the state,” Memorial stated in a statement. “The sentence against Oleg Orlov is an attempt to drown out…” We shall, however, carry on with our task.”
There was a statement that Orlov was a genuine Russian patriot. “However, in modern Russia everything is turned on its head: war is peace, calls for peace are a crime, and a warning that the state cultivates violence is a ‘hate crime’.”
There were regulations that were created shortly after the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine that mandated prison terms for anyone who were found guilty of spreading false information about the armed forces or undermining the armed forces. Orlov was charged with violating these laws.
“Mr. Orlov was sentenced today to two and a half years in prison simply for peacefully and courageously speaking out against Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine,” said Matthew Miller, a spokeswoman for the United States Department of State.
More than thirty-two organizations that advocate for human rights, including as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, have also condemned the sentencing.
“The Kremlin should not be allowed to eliminate its critics in sham trials,” Tanya Lokshina, associate Europe and Central Asia director at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement that was posted on the website of the organization.
“International actors should do everything in their power to liberate Orlov and make Russia accountable for its persistent and blatant human rights violations before it’s too late.”
As Putin’s soldiers carry out what he refers to as a “special military operation” in Ukraine, he has asked the Russian people to demonstrate solidarity and to be on the lookout for traitors who are sympathetic to the West.
“Memorial,” which grew to fame by recording Stalinist crimes and attempting to rehabilitate their victims, has been banned, according to his detractors, as part of a larger effort to eradicate dissent and rewrite the history of the country.
