The former coordinator of Navalny’s headquarters in Ufa, Liliya Chanysheva, was registered as “prone to committing crimes of a terrorist nature and extremist nature.” This was reported in a telegram channel in support of the oppositionist.
Chanysheva is now in pre-trial detention center-5 of Bashkortostan in the Dyurtyulinsky district, she was notified of her registration on October 19. According to the ex-head of Navalny’s Ufa headquarters, the reason for such a decision was only her criminal case.
“There are no violations against me. The reason is precisely my criminal case. I began to object that in the Ufa pre-trial detention center they did not put me on such a register. But the answer was surprising: supposedly in my personal file there is a corresponding protocol from pre-trial detention center No. 1. That is, I was not invited to the commission and was not notified of anything, but they put me on the register,” reports the telegram channel in support of the activist.
Chanysheva also noted that after she was transferred to SIZO-5, the management of the detention center began to hold commissions more often: “In the Moscow SIZO, commissions were held once a week, in the Ufa SIZO 3-4 times during the seven months of detention. In the Dyurtyulino pre-trial detention center, commissions are held 2 times a week, but during the first time of my stay there were FOUR of them within five working days.”
Chanysheva’s transfer to the Dyurtyulin detention center became known on October 24. Then the ex-chief of Navalny’s headquarters said that the management of the pre-trial detention center was putting pressure on her. “And also in Durtyuli, when I try to protect my rights and refer to PVR, they begin to intimidate me with comments, punishment cells, and refusal to sign applications to call my relatives. This has never happened in any pre-trial detention center where I have been before,” writes Chanysheva.
“Answer the question: do you live better now than you did 10 years ago?” The last word of the former head of Navalny's headquarters in Ufa, Liliya Chanysheva
On June 14, the Kirovsky District Court of Ufa sentenced Chanysheva to seven and a half years in a general regime colony and a fine of 400 thousand rubles. The oppositionist was found guilty of participating in the activities of an extremist community using her official position (Part 3, Article 282.1 of the Criminal Code), calls for extremism (Part 1, Article 280 of the Criminal Code) and creating an organization that violates the rights of citizens (Part 3, Article 239 of the Criminal Code).
In July it became known that the prosecutor's office demanded that Chanysheva's sentence be tightened, increasing the term of imprisonment to 10 years and the fine to 700 thousand rubles. An appeal against the decision of the Kirov Court of Ufa is scheduled for November 7 in the Supreme Court of Bashkortostan.
