Russia: Unfounded Criminal Prosecution of Peaceful Protesters in Rostov-on-Don
Amnesty International expresses serious concern about the ongoing criminal prosecution of Yan Sidorov and Vladislav Mordasov charged with attempting to organize, and take part in civil unrest, and Viacheslav Shashmin, charged with attempting to take part in civil unrest, in Rostov-on-Don, south-west Russia. If convicted, Yan Sidorov and Vladislav Mordasov could be sentenced to up to 15 years in jail and Viacheslav Shashmin – up to eight years in jail.
