In the KBR, two servicemen were sentenced to real terms for leaving a unit

The Nalchik garrison court sentenced contractor Rakhim Baisakharov to five years in prison. He took part in the "SVO" and was wounded. Baysakharov's fault lies in the fact that after being wounded, he spent more than three months outside the military unit. His sentence was reduced for "sincere repentance and admission of guilt."

In addition, another contract soldier, Alimbek Kaziev, was sentenced to two years in prison in the KBR. He was also charged with leaving the unit. Kaziev's contract expired in November 2022. The man quit, but did not have the right to do so, since the regime of partial mobilization was in effect, which means that he had to continue to serve, according to the text of the verdict.

Earlier, courts in the KBR, Chechnya and other regions of the North Caucasus Federal District sentenced to real terms dozens of servicemen who left military units for various reasons. Many of them participated in the "SVO".

The Anna Politkovskaya Award has this year been given to 11 Russian and five Ukrainian female journalists who are imprisoned in Russia and in the occupied territories of Ukraine.

 

According to the award’s founder, the international organisation RAW in WAR (Reach All Women in WAR), the nominations committee praised the “courage and integrity” of the laureates, who “risk their freedom and even their lives to report on the war and speak out against human rights violations, war crimes and the escalating repression of journalists, human rights defenders and anti-war activists in Russia”.
