Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[KavkazUzel] Investigators have put Zalina Marshenkulova, a journalist from Kabardino-Balkaria, on the federal wanted list, accused in absentia of publicly justifying terrorism. As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on April 10, the investigation reported a criminal case against journalist and activist from Kabardino-Balkaria Zalina Marshenkulova under the article on public justification of terrorism (Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The reason for the criminal case was her publications in the telegram channel, Marshenkulova will be put on the wanted list, the Sledkom said. Zalina Marshenkulova, who lives in Germany, considered the charges against her for justifying terrorism absurd and linked the persecution with her political position. The journalist’s criminal case is not related to her participation in defending women’s rights in Kabardino-Balkaria, human rights activists interviewed by the Caucasian Knot indicated. Zalina Marshenkulova has been put on the federal wanted list, Kommersant reports today with reference to the database of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Let us recall that some sources claimed that the reason for the persecution of Marshenkulova was statements about the death of blogger Vladlen Tatarsky, who died in an explosion in a cafe in St. Petersburg on April 2, 2023. However, according to the investigation, Zalina Marshenkulova published “a number of publications on the justification of terrorism” on Telegram “no later than March 3, 2023,” that is, a month before Tatarsky’s death. On April 11, a court in Moscow upheld the order for an “urgent search” in the case of Zalina Marshenkulova. By this time, security forces had already conducted a search in her former Moscow apartment, where Marshenkulova had not lived for at least a year. Zalina Marshenkulova contacted the police in 2020 because of threats she received on behalf of the “For the Good of the Common People” community. According to Marshenkulova, she was threatened on social networks after she wrote a post in support of the actresses from the video of the lead singer of the band Rammstein. The investigation refused to investigate Marshenkulova’s threats. Posted by: badanov 2024-04-18 |
