New terrorism-justification case opened against Tver anti-war loader already serving 5 years
Mediazona reports that a man from Tver, who was earlier sentenced to five years and says he was tortured with electric current, now faces a second case over a conversation in a penal colony.
A new criminal case has been opened against an anti-war loader from Tver, Mediazona reported on 26 October 2026. The charge is justification of terrorism.
According to Mediazona, the case concerns a conversation the man had in a penal colony. The outlet describes him as someone who was tortured with electric current and sentenced to five years.
The report as provided gives no further details. It does not name the man, the colony or the court, and it does not say who reported the conversation or what was said in it.
Only one independent outlet is cited here, so the new case and the earlier torture allegation rest on Mediazona’s account alone. This story will be updated if other outlets or official bodies confirm or comment on the case.
