Russian Activist Sergey Udaltsov Sentenced to Six Years in Prison for Justifying Terrorism
The Second Western District Military Court has handed down a six-year prison sentence to Sergey Udaltsov, the coordinator of the Left Front, for justifying terrorism. The court also imposed a three-year ban on administering information resources. Udaltsov was convicted under Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code for a Telegram post supporting members of a Marxist circle from Ufa accused of terrorism. He denied the charges. In 2014, Udaltsov was found guilty of organizing mass riots and sentenced to 4.5 years in prison, but he was released in August 2017.
