Roman Maryan [Роман Марьян], a political activist from Krasnoyarsk opposed to the government, has been charged with «preparing to take part in riots» under Article 30 (Section 1) and Article 212 (Section 2) of the Russian Criminal Code.

It is evident that the case of Hizb ut-Tahrir is one of the so-called “off the shelf” cases that enable the FSB to achieve “high results” (dozens of convictions) with minimal effort.

We demand that Nikolai Sentsov, and the other defendants charged with participation in BARS, be immediately released, and that there be an impartial investigation into the charges brought against them.

The activist is being prosecuted for incitement to «throw out those in the Kremlin over the Kremlin wall.»

We demand his immediate release and the prosecution of those persons complicit in the fabrication of the criminal case against him.

We demand that he be immediately released, and that the criminal case be the subject of an impartial investigation.

Memorial has concluded that this prosecution is politically-motivated.
