Ildar Dadin, the first Russian to be serving a 3-year prison sentence for totally peaceful protests has been placed in a punishment isolation cell and will from now on be held in harsher conditions. Appropriately enough, the young political prisoner has been moved to a prison in Karelia where President Vladimir Putin’s first and most famous political prisoner Mikhail Khodorkovsky was held for some time.
The Memorial Human Rights Centre has called on people to support Dadin and reiterate their condemnation of the thoroughly unconstitutional article of the Criminal Code under which he was prosecuted.
