WORLD WORLDWIDE FRANCE News Journal Update - (en) France, CNT-AIT: Anarchosyndicalisme #180 - Kirill Ukraintsev sentenced to 1 year and 4 months in penal colony, the duration of his detention in preventive prison (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Kirill Ukraintsev is this young Russian, secretary of the "Courier" delivery
union, who was arbitrarily arrested in April 2022 after a series of strikes by
delivery people from different cities in Russia. It was necessary to silence a
dissenting voice that called for organization and the fight against capitalist
exploitation. ---- Since he was kept in preventive detention, in defiance even of
Russian law which stipulates that it cannot exceed a period of 6 months. His
trial, constantly postponed and transferred to cities further and further from
Moscow, to prevent Kirill's companions, families and supporters from mobilizing
in solidarity, ended up being held in early February in the small town of Sergiev
Posad near from Moscow.
Kirill was sentenced to 1 year and 4 months in a penal colony.
But as he was already credited with this length of stay during his preventive
detention, he was immediately released.

This is a common practice when Power no longer wants to keep a person behind
bars, but also does not want to recognize the arrest as illegal.[[Translators'
note: this practice of power to give an appearance of legality to its arbitrary
practices is common in all countries of the world, not only in Russia...]

One way or another, Kirill Ukraintsev is now free. He thanks everyone who helped
free him.

Furthermore, other militants and activists (notably Anton Orlov and Vladimir
Baranov of the "Action" health union) are currently being hunted down by the
regime, which does not hesitate to invent scenarios from scratch to criminalize
all those who dare to raise their heads and blur the discourse of the Sacred Union.

According to a message from the Russian branch of the International Workers'
Association (KRAS-AIT)
