On July 25, renowned intellectual and socialist activist Boris Kagarlitsky was detained and accused of \u00abjustifying terrorism\u00bb by the Federal Security Service (FSB) before being\u00a0immediately transported to the city of Syktyvkar, 1300 kilometres from Moscow. There, in a closed hearing and without his lawyer present, a court decided he should be detained until his trial in September, where he will face the possibility of up to 7 years in prison.<\/p>\n
The arrest and detention of Kagarlitsky has taken place\u00a0within the context of a repressive campaign that the government has been carrying out with the intention of silencing all those voices that oppose the invasion of Ukraine and its domestic policies. Since last year, the Putin government has dedicated itself to persecuting, jailing or forcing into exile recognised politicians, intellectuals and activists that have publicly opposed the war as well as simple citizens that have expressed their opinions on social media. Kagarlitsky himself had been labelled a \u00abforeign agent\u00bb in May last year.<\/p>\n
We express our solidarity with Boris Kagarlitsky and\u00a0demand his immediate release, as well as the release of all those detained for political reasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
