<\/a><\/p>\nA group of anarchists and anti-fascists have been sentenced to lengthy jail terms after being convicted of belonging to a fictitious terror network imaginatively dubbed ‘The Network’ by Russian authorities.<\/p>\n

This last post includes the following note:<\/p>\n … if I were a betting man, I would wager that our tiresome planet\u2019s obnoxious pillars of liberal truth\u2014the New York Times, the Guardian, the Washington Post, and Al Jazeera, among others\u2014will suddenly weigh in on the case after blithely ignoring it for two years, as will many if not all of the crypto-Putinist \u201cRussia watchers\u201d in our midst, eerily silent until now. Barring a sudden revolution, don\u2019t imagine this is the last such case in Russia, a country that has worried so many people around the world for the last several years that they\u2019re determined not to know anything particular about it except \u201cPutin\u201d and \u201ctroll factories.\u201d And don\u2019t imagine that a show trial just as juicy and unjust won\u2019t be coming to a theater near you. Please don\u2019t reprint, repost or otherwise reference this article without prefacing it with my remarks. I\u2019d like to preempt \u201cspontaneous\u201d shows of \u201csolidarity\u201d by people who couldn\u2019t be bothered to do anything when it would have made a difference. Despite the well-known saying, it IS a popularity contest, and seven innocent young men in Penza have lost it. [TRR]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n For background to the case, and the situation of the seven convicted men — Dmitry Pchelintsev (18 years jail), Ilya Shakursky (16), Maxim Ivankin (13), Andrei Chernov (14), Mikhail Kulkov (10), Vasily Kuksov (9) and Arman Sagynbayev (6) — see<\/em> : rupression.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n KIDNAPPING, ELECTROCUTING, BEATING UP<\/strong> On the eve of the presidential election and the World Cup repressions began in Russia. Activists are being kidnapped, beaten up, electrocuted, forced to sign and learn investigative evidence, in which law enforcement investigation interested, by heart. Besides tortures and battery, detainees are threatened to be imprisoned for long time: secret services incriminate participation in mythical terrorist organization called “Network”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The seven will obviously require support and solidarity. In which context, see<\/em> The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund<\/a> and keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming benefit gig in Melbourne.<\/p>\n FTR … A group of anarchists and anti-fascists have been sentenced to lengthy jail terms after being convicted of belonging to a fictitious terror network imaginatively dubbed ‘The Network’ by Russian authorities.
