Notes (1)
| In his position as Head of the Investigative Department at the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Kolesnikov gave authorisation to issue a politically motivated criminal accusation against Vladimir Kara-Murza. Kara-Murza is a prominent opposition activist in Russia. Politically motivated court proceedings based on false allegations started against him in 2022 after he accused the Kremlin of committing war crimes in Ukraine and publicly condemned Russian aggression. In April 2023, he was sentenced to 25 years in a high-security prison/labour camp. The court proceedings against him targeted his activism and served as a show trial in Russia to suppress voices critical of the ruling regime in voicing opposition to the war of aggression against Ukraine. The Russian regime is using the judiciary of the country as a widespread tool in numerous serious human rights violations. The justice system is not independent and is used to systematically and severely violate the human rights of individuals opposed to the ruling regime, by violating their freedom of opinion and expression. Therefore, in his position, he is responsible for serious human rights violations in Russia, including violations of freedom of opinion and expression. |
