Andrey was sentenced to 14 years in a high-security prison in Russia.
Andrey Chernov is an anarchist, antifascist, and vegan.
Before his arrest, he lived in Penza. He participated in the Food Not Bombs, organized free markets, and took part in the No surrender anti-fascist mixed martial arts tournament.
In 2017, Andrey became a defendant in a fabricated case about a “terrorist organization,” known as the “Network Case.”
At that time, six people were arrested in Penza — some had weapons and explosives planted on them.
FSB officers beat and tortured the detainees, attaching electrodes to different parts of their bodies and passing electric currents through them.
During these tortures, the security forces forced the young men to memorize statements dictated by the FSB, claiming they had created and were part of the “Network” terrorist organization.
Andrey was sentenced to 14 years in a high-security prison on charges of participating in a terrorist organization and attempting to distribute large quantities of drugs.
💌 On March 18, Andrey Chernov will spend yet another birthday in prison. You can support him with a letter or a postcard.
Outside prison, Andrey was also passionate about rock music, programming, and Muay Thai. He participated in competitions and won prizes.
