The defendant in the case of organizing arson of military registration and enlistment offices, Ilya Baburin from Novosibirsk, was charged with four more articles. This was reported by the human rights project “Solidarity Zone”.
Back in September, FSB investigator Georgy Golovachev charged 24-year-old Baburin under the article on illegal trafficking in special equipment intended for obtaining information (138.1 of the Criminal Code) due to a GPS tracker found during a search, the Solidarity Zone said. Baburin said that he bought the device to track the location of the car he wanted to rent. The investigation claims that the beacon had a microphone.
Baburin was also accused of a terrorist attack (Part 1 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code). The FSB claims that he set fire to a music school — the young man himself denies this. In addition, in December, charges were added to the Novosibirsk resident’s case under articles of participation in an illegal armed group and participation in the activities of a terrorist organization (Part 2 of Article 208 of the Criminal Code and Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code).
Baburin was detained in September last year — then the FSB reported on the initiation of a case for organizing a terrorist attack (Part 4 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code).
According to the investigation, Baburin “on instructions” from the Ukrainian Azov battalion was looking for “perpetrators to commit arson of military commissariat buildings.” Later, he was accused of involvement in terrorist activities (Part 1.1 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code) and attempted treason (Article 275 of the Criminal Code using Part 3 of Article 30 of the Criminal Code). The Novosibirsk resident says that he has nothing to do with Azov.
Baburin is in pre-trial detention center-1 in Novosibirsk. He refused a deal with the investigation — because of this, the Solidarity Zone wrote, the security forces began to mock him: they did not provide a mattress, pillow and bed linen, which is why Baburin had to sleep in a jacket; he was sent naked to a “psycho-isolator”, from which he was not taken to the toilet, and after that he was kept naked in another room for two days. In September, Baburin reported that he was beaten by guards, calling him a “traitor to the motherland.”
