The European Council says in today’s announcement that it has imposed penalties on five people for human rights violations in Russia. The new sanctions are targeted by members of Russian justice who played an important role in the persecution of activist Alexei Gorinov who openly opposed the Russian War in Ukraine when he was a municipal member in the Moscow Krasnoselski area. These are Judges Victor Vladimirov, Katerina Kirichenko, Larissa Martinova, Maxim Sokolovsky and Yelena Zuravliova, whose names were published in the EU magazine, who issued convictions against Gorinov. The announcement states that all of them “are subject to assets and it is forbidden by EU citizens and companies to have financial transactions with them”. Gorinov was sentenced in 2022 to a little less than seven years in prison for “defamation of the Armed Forces” and in 2024, while he was already in prison in three years for “justification of terrorism”. He said he was innocent by rejecting these charges. Source: RES
