Ilya Baburin was arrested in September 2022 and charged with attempting to organise the firebombing of a military recruitment centre. After almost another year, the investigating officers also introduced an absurd charge of arson at a music school. In May this year, Baburin was convicted in court under six Articles of the Criminal Code, including "terrorism" and "treason", and sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment.
Ilya disputes the sentence, and his defence lawyer has already lodged an appeal.
We continue our fundraiser to defend Ilya Baburin. Now we need to collect €3130 to pay for work that his lawyer has already done, and for work on the appeal.

I want a secure messaging app, should I use Telegram? The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War." In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so. Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations.
