20-year-old Pavlo started a hunger strike.
Ukrainian political prisoner Pavlo Gryb accused of forcing the Russian terrorist Tatyana Yershova to act of terror was sentenced to six years by a Russian court.
This was reported by the correspondent of “Hromadsky” TV-channel from the courtroom in Rostov-on-Don.
“To find Pavlo Gryb guilty and impose a sentence of 6 years of imprisonment with serving in a penal colony,” the judge declared.
The court decided to calculate the term of imprisonment from March 22, 2018 (Gryb was detained on August 24, 2017).
“We will appeal, the evidence was obtained in violation of the law,” Gryb’s lawyer Marina Dubrovina told reporters.
20-year-old Pavlo started a hunger strike.
“Due to the fact that they didn’t allow neither the doctors nor Denisova to see me, I go on a hunger strike,” the young man told to the journalist of “Hromadsky” TV-channel.
The verdict was passed to Pavlo in the same court where two more Ukrainian political prisoners were tried – Oleg Sentsov and Oleksandr Kolchenko.
