The sentences were extended until March 8 for three “Ukrainian saboteurs”

On 30 December, “the Leninsky District Court of Sevastopol” extended the detention of Dmitry Shtyblikov, Alexei Bessarabov and Vladimir Dudka until 8 March, 2017.

Let’s recall that on 9 November in Sevastopol, the Russian Federal Security Service detained Ukrainian citizens, residents of Crimea Dmitry Shtyblikov, Alexei Bessarabov, and Vladimir Dudka in relation to the “Ukrainian saboteurs” case. On November 10 the Russian Federal Security Service spreader the video of denention and search in the apartment of Dmitry Shtyblikov in the media and also distributed the videos of staged interrogation.

Earlier, the Crimean human rights group stated that Ukrainian citizens detained in Crimea in the period from August to November 2016 in the case of so-called “Ukrainian saboteurs” (Evgeny Panov, Andrey Zahtey, Redvan Suleymanov, Vladimir Prisich, Dmitry Shtyblikov, Alexei Bessarabov, Vladimir Dudka, Gleb Shabliy, Alex Stogniy), were imprisoned for political reasons in violation of the fundamental rights and freedoms, and, therefore, are political prisoners
