Darya Polyudova fears to be arrested until verdict comes into force

Activist Darya Polyudova does not rule out that she will be arrested prior to the consideration of the appeal against the decision of the Oktiabrskiy District Court of Krasnodar, which has sentenced her to two years of imprisonment in a penal settlement-colony and left her free until the sentence comes into force.

Darya Polyudova in August 2014 was one of the organizers of the action "March for Federalization of Kuban", directed against Russia's policy towards Ukraine; however, the action never took place. The activist is accused of public calls to separatism and extremism; however, she refuses to plead guilty. Polyudova is on the list of political prisoners compiled by the Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial".

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the Oktiabrskiy District Court of Krasnodar has found activist Darya Polyudova guilty of public calling for separatism and extremism. The activist is sentenced to two years of imprisonment in a penal settlement-colony. Darya Polyudova has announced her intention to appeal against the sentence at the Krasnodar Regional Court.

"We will appeal to the Krasnodar Regional Court within the statutory ten-day term, since we treat the Court's decision as of political nature," said Andrei Sabinin, an advocate of the activist, in his interview to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

Darya Polyudova will stay under recognizance not to leave until the verdict of the Oktiabrskiy District Court comes into force, the advocate notes. According to his forecast, the consideration of the appeal at the Krasnodar Regional Court will take about two months.

According to Darya Polyudova, she fears that she "will not be given enough time to file an appeal." "I am afraid that I will be again detained under some administrative article and sent to prison for several days and then to a penal colony," Darya Polyudova has noted.
