Stop Russia's human rights violation against the Ukrainian filmmaker, O. Sentsov
An indefinite hunger strike has been announced by the Ukrainian filmmaker. "I, Sentsov Oleh [...] declare an indefinite hunger strike from May 14, 2018. The only condition for its cessation is the release of all Ukrainian political prisoners in the Russian Federation."
Sentsov was arrested in the Russian-occupied Crimean territory of Ukraine and charged under Article 205.4, Article 205, Article 30 in connection with Article 205, Article 30 in connection with Article 222, and Article 222 of the Russian criminal code. He was accused of planning an attack on a monument to Lenin, a charge he denies. He was sentenced in a Russian military court to 20 years in a strict regime penal colony for terrorism. The case appears to breach international law.
