MURMANSK, January 15 The military court upheld a 400,000 fine for a resident of Murmansk for calls for terrorism and the violent seizure of power in Russia, the FSB Directorate for the Murmansk Region reported on Monday .
“The verdict came into force from the moment the decision was announced by the Military Court of Appeal,” the report notes.
Last August, the Western District Military Court found the woman guilty and fined her 400 thousand rubles with deprivation of the right to administer Internet sites for two years. This has not been previously reported.
Investigators found that the Murmansk woman, “with a negative and hostile attitude towards representatives of government bodies of the Russian Federation,” did not agree with “the main directions of the state’s domestic and foreign policy” and proceeded from the fact that the theory of direct action and intimidation of the population are acceptable and correct forms of struggle .
«(She) harbored the criminal intent of an illegitimate violent seizure of state power in the Russian Federation,» the FSB explained. The case was opened under Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Public calls for terrorist activities committed using the Internet.”
The Murmansk woman posted calls for a “revolution in Russia” on her page on VKontakte. According to the investigation , she also tried to encourage other users to beat up law enforcement officers, fight the current government and donate money to Ukraine.
