Russian activist Yan Sidorov faces further restrictions after release

Human Lives Human Rights: Two weeks ahead of the release of a Russian human rights activist Yan Sidorov from penal colony IK-10 in Dimitrovgrad, the penitentiary administration requested that the court impose a three-year probation period on him.

Conditions include obligatory biweekly registration at the local police station and a curfew between 10 pm and 6 am; Sidorov would also be banned from leaving his native Krasnodar region, and banned from attending or participating in any mass events.

The Dimitrovgrad City Court will hear this case on 29 October. On 15 October, the penal colony authorities accused Yan Sidorov of violation of the prison regime regulations – allegedly for not attending morning workout – and placed him in a punishment cell for seven days.

In October 2019, Yan Sidorov and his friend Vladislav Mordasov, who spent almost two years in pre-trial detention, were found guilty of “attempted organization of mass disturbances”, and each sentenced to more than six years imprisonment for organizing a peaceful protest in November 2017.

The protest was in support of dozens of people in Rostov-on-Don, who had lost their homes in mass fires. Their sentences were subsequently reduced to four years on cassation.

Vladislav Mordasov serving his sentence in IK-9 penal colony in Shakhty (Rostov-on-Don region) is due to be released on 3 November as well.

This way, Russian authorities are sending a clear signal to all young activists that participation in peaceful protests can come at huge personal cost.

Yan Sidorov has already served four years in prison; he may now have to spend three more under strict police surveillance, forbidden to go out after 10 pm and banned from travelling outside the Krasnodar region.

The Russian penitentiary authorities must immediately withdraw their request to impose additional arbitrary restrictions on Yan Sidorov and release him unconditionally.

Yan Sidorov has done nothing but exercise his rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, and this outrageous campaign of punishment must end.
