More than 100 doctors, in an open letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, wrote to St. Louis, who was convicted the previous day and sentenced to 7 years in prison for an action in which the price tag was changed. He demanded the release of St. Petersburg artist Sasha Skochilenko from the colony. It was replaced with anti-war leaflets. According to this “Kommersant”Currently the letter has been signed by 175 doctors.
It was noted that the artist was diagnosed with a number of serious chronic diseases that require medical supervision and special nutrition.
“Staying in the colony could lead to a significant deterioration in Sasha’s health,” the letter states.
According to doctors, the artist’s sentence seems “particularly unfair” given reports that prisoners who committed serious crimes are being released.
On the eve of the St. Petersburg Vasileostrovsky court prisoner artist Sasha Skochilenko was sentenced to seven years in a general regime colony on charges of spreading fake news about the Russian Armed Forces. In March 2022, Skochilenko moved to St. He replaced five price tags in one of the stores in St. Petersburg with stylized pages containing information about the progress of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, which did not correspond to the position of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The artist was arrested and detained for a year and a half. The court found him guilty in accordance with Art. 207.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (knowingly disseminating false information to the public about the use of the RF Armed Forces). In his afterword, Skochilenko described the criminal case as “bizarre and funny.”
