Strict conditions of detention in a colony in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic were extended for a Kuban activist

Kuban Left Resistance activist Daria Polyudova, sentenced to nine years in prison, had her strict conditions of detention in correctional colony No. 4 in Kabardino-Balkaria extended until July 17. Earlier, she reported being beaten by a cellmate for making critical statements about Russian President Putin.

In 2022, Daria Polyudova was sentenced to 9 years in prison on charges of calling for extremism and creating an extremist community. The verdict also included a previous punishment: in 2021, the court found her guilty of publicly justifying terrorism due to a post about Chechen field commanders Shamil Basayev and Aslan Maskhadov. In addition, Polyudova was accused of speaking positively about the actions of Yevgeny Manyurov, who in December 2019 opened fire on the FSB building on Lubyanka in Moscow.
