The prosecutor has requested a punishment of five years in prison for Andrey Pivovarov, a Russian politician, over “undesired organisation” charges, Pivovarov’s team reports on Telegram.
“This is an inadequate punishment for Andrey’s political activity which was absolutely legal. Pivovarov’s case is a 100% frameup; the authorities are punishing him for trying to be elected as an MP, for his political activitiesб and his stance,” reads the statement.
