[KavkazUzel] The state prosecutor demanded that the Visaitovsky District Court of Grozny find Volgograd resident Nikita Zhuravel, who burned the Koran, guilty of violating the right to religion and hooliganism and sentence him to three years and six months in prison in a general regime colony.

As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, on February 15, human rights activists noted that the testimony of Nikita Zhuravel, accused of burning the Koran, must be questioned taking into account the conditions in which he is in Chechnya. Lawyers emphasized that Zhuravel’s confession in court could be calculated to gain the court’s leniency and indicate a plea bargain, but saying that he did not act alone could make the qualification more difficult.

The Visaitovsky District Court of Grozny continued to consider the case of Nikita Zhuravel. The prosecutor demanded that he be sentenced to three years and six months in prison, TASS reported today.

“I ask that Nikita Sergeevich Zhuravel be found guilty of committing crimes under Part 2 of Article 148 [“Violation of the right to freedom of conscience and religion”], Part 2 of Article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation [“Hooliganism”] and sentence him. Under Part 2 of Article 148 of the Criminal Code Code of the Russian Federation in the form of 300 hours of compulsory labor. Under Part 2 of Article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in the form of 3 years 5 months of imprisonment. Based on paragraph "d", Part 1, Article 71, Part 3, Article 69 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation by partial addition of punishments finally impose a sentence of 3 years and 6 months of imprisonment to be served in a general regime correctional colony,” Chechnya Segodnya news agency quoted state prosecutor Milana Baitaeva as saying.

Let us remind you that security forces detained Nikita Zhuravel in Volgograd on May 20, 2023. According to investigators, the detainee said that  he recorded a video of the burning of the Koran  at the direction of the Ukrainian special services and received 10 thousand rubles for it. He handed over the recording to an employee of the Ukrainian special services, for whom he also filmed military installations.
