Russian SC refuses to consider Darya Polyudova's appeal against her sentence

Opposition activist Darya Polyudova, sentenced on the charge of extremism and serving her sentence in a penal settlement-colony in Novorossiysk, has received a response from the Supreme Court (SC) of Russia to her appeal against the verdict. The Russian SC has refused to consider the appeal. At present, the activist's defence expects when the case will be considered by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR).

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in December 2015, the Oktyabrsky District Court of Krasnodar found Darya Polyudova guilty of public calls for separatism and extremism. On March 30, the Krasnodar Regional Court dismissed the appeal filed by Darya Polyudova against her sentence. The activist has filed an appeal against the decision of the Krasnodar Regional Court.

Tatiana Polyudova, the activist's mother, has reported that her daughter suffers heavily in the penal settlement-colony and constantly feels bad because of poor conditions in the Novorossiysk penal colony.

According to Tatiana Polyudova, activists constantly send her money to help Darya.

The appeal filed to the ECtHR states that the Russian courts and law enforcers have grossly violated the European Convention on Human Rights: in particular, they failed to comply with the Darya Polyudova's right to a fair trial and brought her to court for political reasons and for expression of her opinion.
