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.

One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. Telegram was co-founded by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the brothers who had previously created VKontakte. VK is Russia’s equivalent of Facebook, a social network used for public and private messaging, audio and video sharing as well as online gaming. In January, SimpleWeb reported that VK was Russia’s fourth most-visited website, after Yandex, YouTube and Google’s Russian-language homepage. In 2016, Forbes’ Michael Solomon described Pavel Durov (pictured, below) as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia.” Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts. The regulator said it had received information that messages containing stock tips and other investment advice with respect to selected listed companies are being widely circulated through websites and social media platforms such as Telegram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. These entities are reportedly operating nine Telegram channels with more than five million subscribers to whom they were making recommendations on selected listed scrips. Such recommendations induced the investors to deal in the said scrips, thereby creating artificial volume and price rise.
