The Cheryomushkinsky District Court of Moscow sent Dmitry Talantov, president of the Bar Association of Udmurtia and lawyer for journalist Ivan Safronov, to a pre-trial detention center in the case of «fakes» about the army because of an anti-war post on Facebook, a Mediazona correspondent reports.
The lawyer is charged with Article 207.3 of the Criminal Code. He faces up to ten years in prison. Justifying the arrest, judge Sergei Khomyakov stressed that Talantov is a lawyer, and therefore knows the intricacies of the law enforcement system, can “continue criminal activity” or hide.
Talantov was detained on June 28 and transferred to Moscow on the same day.
