"Today, the so-called Supreme Court of Crimea controlled by the Russian occupation authorities passed an illegal sentence to Ukrainian citizen Ivan Yatskin in a fabricated criminal case over alleged collection and transfer of information, which constitutes Russia’s state secret, to Ukraine," Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Liudmyla Denisova posted on Facebook.
According to her, Yatskin was sentenced to 11 years in a maximum security penal colony and one year of restriction of liberty of administrative supervision after the prison term ends.
"This illegal sentence passed by the so-called court is a demonstration of systemic political repressions by the occupying power against our citizens, who freely express their pro-Ukrainian views in the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea," Denisova stressed.
