Source: http://www.robertamsterdam.com/2008/09/kozlovsky_fsb_stands_for_final.htmPosted on Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008 | In Russia
Oleg Kozlovsky is a Russian civil society leader and organizer of the youth movement Oborona. From time to time, he contributes opinion articles to this blog. Below is his latest appeal to help a regional opposition leader who has come under attack from the state, which is especially important following the murder of Magomed Yevloyev on Sunday. I encourage everyone who is able to make a donation to help Mr. Soloviev.
FSB: a Final Solution for Bloggers
By Oleg Kozlovsky
Dmitry Soloviev, a leader of the Oborona youth movement in Kemerovo region, faces criminal charges for criticizing the “siloviki†in a LiveJournal blog. He is accused by the regional prosecutor of posting information that “incites hatred, hostility and degrades a social group of people—the police and FSBâ€. According to the anti-extremist legislation introduced in 2006 (more specifically, the infamous paragraph 282 of the Criminal Code), he may face up to two years imprisonment if convicted.
