Case Description
In Chelyabinsk, no later than September 2023, a criminal case was opened against 29-year-old local resident Evgeny Melikhov.

According to the investigation, on September 9, 2023, Yevgeny Melikhov posted a comment in a Telegram channel under a news publication "related to the conduct of the SVO." 2. The publication was seen as support for Ukraine, and a linguistic examination found in it a call to commit a crime of a terrorist nature. The case materials indicate that the comment was related to mobilization. It is unknown exactly what Melikhov wrote. The court sent the case suspect to the pre-trial detention center. On June 27, 2024, the Central Military District Court found Evgeny Melikhov guilty and sentenced him to 5.5 years in a general regime penal colony. On December 16, 2024, the Appellate Military Court left the sentence unchanged.
