Halya Coynash: Russian blogger gets 2-year sentence for reposting that Crimea is Ukraine
People take part in a rally in the Crimean city of Yalta on March 18, 2016, to mark two years since Russia's President Vladimir Putin signed off on the annexation of Crimea in a epochal shift that ruptured ties with Ukraine and the West.
If the truth about the Soviet Union once resulted in imprisonment for ‘anti-Soviet propaganda’, just reposting an article entitled ‘Crimea is Ukraine’ can now result in a prison sentence for so-called ‘public calls to separatism’.
