The head of the Human Rights Council under the President of the Russian Federation, Valery Fadeev, considers the sentence to the Moscow blogger Matvey Yuferov, who defiled the portrait of the Great Patriotic War veteran, too cruel.
Fadeev, as reported by TASS, said that the blogger should have been given a month of compulsory work – “to take out the pots, for example, and here there are four years in prison.” “This is overkill. And we now have such an imbalance – they can give five years for a murder, four years for urinating in the wrong place, ”the head of the HRC told reporters.
Recall that Yuferov in a Moscow park on the night of November 25 urinated on a stand with a biography of a WWII veteran and posted the photos on the Web.
The Moscow City Court found 19-year-old blogger and student of the Russian State Humanitarian University Matvey Yuferov guilty under part 4 of Article 354.1 (Desecration of the symbols of military glory of Russia, insult to the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland, committed publicly). He was sentenced to four years of imprisonment in a general regime colony. For five years, he is also banned from running social networks and other sites.
