A student from Tomsk has been sentenced to nine years in a penal colony on a charge of treason for donating $30 to a Ukrainian fund<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Political Prisoners. Memorial\u2019 human rights project, in accordance with international standards<\/a>, considers Tatiana Laletina a political prisoner. Laletina was convicted on a charge of treason for making a donation of $30 to a Ukrainian fund. Laletina\u2019s criminal prosecution violated her right to fair trial. We demand the immediate release of Tatiana Laletina from custody and that all criminal charges against her be dropped.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What were the charges against Tatiana Laletina?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatiana Laletina is a 21-year-old from Tomsk who was studying at a local teacher training college. She is passionate about drawing and ran a Telegram channel focused on this interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 24 February 2022, the first day of Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Laletina transferred $10 to a Ukrainian fund. In April 2022, after reports emerged of atrocities committed by Russian forces in Bucha near Kyiv, she made another donation of $20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two years later, on 26 February 2024, law enforcement officers conducted a search of Laletina\u2019s home. She was then charged with providing financial support to a foreign state in activities deemed to threaten Russia\u2019s security (Article 275 of the Russian Criminal Code).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 28 June 2024, a court in Tomsk sentenced Laletina to nine years in a general-regime penal colony. Her trial was in camera and the verdict has not been made public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The details of Laletina\u2019s case were shared by Ksenia Fadeeva, who had previously been charged in a case related to involvement in an \u2018extremist\u2019 group of Aleksei Navalny\u2019s supporters. Fadeeva had shared a cell with Laletina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do we consider Laletina a political prisoner?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe Laletina\u2019s donations to Ukrainian funds were a genuine emotional response to the events unfolding around her. She wanted to support Ukrainians who had become victims of Russian aggression, not undermine Russia\u2019s security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if, by her actions, Laletina had wished to cause harm to Russia\u2019s security, her donations were so small that they could hardly be regarded as a crime, let alone one warranting imprisonment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe that it is not Laletina\u2019s assistance to Ukrainians that threatens Russia\u2019s security, but Russia\u2019s aggressive war against Ukraine, which has been instigated by the Russian authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The classification of treason cases and their conduct in camera violate the principle of transparency in the justice system and infringe Laletina\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A more detailed description of Tatiana Laletina\u2019s case and of our position is available on our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognition of an individual as a political prisoner does not imply the \u2018Political Prisoners. Memorial\u2019 human rights project agrees with, or approves, their views, statements, or actions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
