On May 23, anarchist Ruslan Sidiki was sentenced to a record-breaking 29 years in prison.
He received this sentence for two acts of sabotage against military infrastructure: blowing up a railway track and carrying out a drone attack on an airfield. No one was hurt.
Ruslan carefully planned the actions to avoid casualties. As a result of the airfield attack, the runway was damaged, and the controlled explosion on the railway tracks caused the derailment of 19 freight train wagons.
Despite the absence of any casualties, Ruslan was sentenced to 29 years in prison!
This is unthinkable in a country where murder usually carries a sentence of around 10 years.
Under such conditions, there’s no hope for justice—but Ruslan is an Italian citizen, so there is a chance for a prisoner exchange.
Ruslan’s lawyer also filed a petition to have him recognized as a prisoner of war (under the Geneva Conventions,.members of resistance movements can also be granted POW status), to increase the chances of such an exchange.
When Ruslan was detained, he was brutally tortured (source), and later threatened with more torture.

That is yet another reason why we believe it is essential to provide him with legal support.
We are raising 210,000 rubles to pay for a lawyer’s work for three months.
This includes filing an appeal, visiting Ruslan, and other necessary legal actions.
