A Russian court has sentenced 19-year-old Darya Kozyreva to nearly three years in prison for protesting the war in Ukraine using poetry and graffiti.
A Russian court has sentenced a 19-year-old woman to nearly three years in prison for allegedly “discrediting” the Russian army through graffiti and the use of 19th-century poetry to protest the war in Ukraine.
Darya Kozyreva received a sentence of two years and eight months, according to the Joint Press Service of Courts in St. Petersburg.
Kozyreva has pleaded not guilty, calling the case against her “one big fabrication.”
Despite the conviction, the verdict was welcomed by Kozyreva and her supporters, as prosecutors had sought a six-year prison term.
She is among an estimated 234 individuals imprisoned in Russia for opposing the war, according to Memorial, a Nobel Prize-winning Russian human rights organization.
