[KavkazUzel] A teenager from Volgograd, sentenced to compulsory treatment in a terrorism case, left Russia with his mother. He has been put on the federal wanted list.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on July 14, 2022, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don found a teenager from Volgograd guilty of preparing an attack on a school and, considering that the young man was socially dangerous, decided to send him to a special type hospital for compulsory medical measures.

On January 9, the court of appeal refused to satisfy the appeal against the verdict. The mother said that her son had just got a more or less normal life, he went to college, and the court verdict deprives him of hope for the future. 

The student was arrested in June 2020, when he was 14 years old. The investigation decided that the teenager was preparing the murder of a school employee and one of the students, for which he himself made a bomb. There is no convincing evidence of the investigators' version, and the psychiatrist's conclusions about the student's insanity are doubtful, the defense pointed out.

After the teenager’s stay in the regional psychiatric hospital No. 1, the head physician of the institution issued a certificate stating that the conclusion of the examination regarding the student  was not true , lawyer Andrey Gordeev said on September 3, 2021. Earlier, lawyer Sergei Bashbakov expressed the same opinion. "It is not clear to me how he was recognized as insane. In my opinion, he is sane, an ordinary normal teenager," he said.

A teenager from Volgograd, whom the court sentenced to compulsory treatment on charges of preparing an attack on a school, left Russia with his mother, Kavkaz.Realii reported today.

The family decided to leave the country after an appeals court upheld the young man's sentence, his mother said.

“In the evening after the trial, we returned, and an employee of the Federal Penitentiary Service called us. He said: “Let <...> come in.” Well, to put a bracelet on him. I say that he is busy, he will come tomorrow. The next day, another call. We understand that we have nowhere else to go, we pack a bag and just leave," she said in an interview posted on the SOta YouTube channel. 

According to the mother, the doctors of the psychiatric hospital where, by court order, her son was kept during the trial, told her that the sentence on compulsory medical measures meant at least five years in the hospital. "The chief physician personally told us that she did not see any illnesses in at all, but she would be forced to treat him," the young man's mother said, follows from an interview dated February 23. 

The forensic psychiatrist told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent earlier that  Anatoly Krivosheev  noted that the diagnosis made by the experts of the Serbsky Institute could be the basis for recognizing insanity. The procedure for compulsory treatment in a hospital for people with such diseases is determined by the court based on the opinion of experts. "It is also possible to stop or change the treatment regimen (for example, facilitate it) only by the court in the presence of all participants in the trial - the patient, his lawyer and the prosecutor," he said. Krivosheev to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

A teenager from Volgograd, convicted in a case of terrorism, was put on the wanted list, the Telegram channel Sota reported on the same day. The message also published a screenshot of the wanted message.
