Person:notes | Artemy Telminov serves as an Investigator of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, and has been involved in a number of politically motivated prosecutions of individuals associated with Alexei Navalny, including, journalists Antonina Favorskaya, Olga Komleva, Konstantin Gabov, and Sergey Karelin, as well as lawyers Vadim Kobzev, Alexei Liptser, and Igor Sergunin. By advocating for the imposition or extension of their detention, he has actively contributed to the Russian regime’s efforts to suppress dissent within the country. All of the individuals mentioned above were investigated and subsequently charged with participation in an extremist community or organisation, or with involvement in its activities. In reality, these charges were based solely on their lawful actions while associated with Alexei Navalny and his Anti-Corruption Foundation. The misuse of legislation related to terrorism and extremism to suppress political opposition and peaceful civil society efforts linked to Navalny has become a widespread practice in Russia. All of the aforementioned cases exhibit a consistent pattern of politically motivated prosecution, including prolonged pre-trial detention and, in some instances, closed court proceedings. Artemy Telminov’s active role in orchestrating the unjust prosecution of Antonina Favorskaya, Olga Komleva, Konstantin Gabov, Sergey Karelin, Vadim Kobzev, Alexei Liptser, and Igor Sergunin constitutes a grave violation of human rights. Therefore, he is directly responsible for serious human rights abuses and for the repression of civil society and democratic opposition in Russia. | eu_journal_sanctions | eu-oj-6fa834c478145eeb5a8e81514bbc38b9f1122ac8 | ||||
