The Case of Tatyana Pasynkova in Mednogorsk

Senior Lieutenant of Justice A. A. Khasanov, investigator of the Zelenchuksky Interdistrict Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, initiates a criminal case against Tatyana Pasynkova under Part 2 of Article 282.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Tatyana Pasynkova returns from vacation. When crossing the border, she is detained and interrogated for an hour. FSB officers are interested in whether she is under recognizance agreement and ask questions about her daughter-in-law, Yulia Pasynkova. The woman is released without any charges.

The Urup District Court recognizes the search of Tatyana Pasynkova's house as lawful.

Tatyana's case goes to the Urup District Court. The same judge who hears the case of Yulia Pasynkova, Ida Uzdenova, is appointed.

Judge Uzdenova recuses herself. The case is transferred to judge Galina Evsegneeva, who on the same day passes a guilty verdict on Tatyana's son, Alexei.

Judge Yevsegneeva recuses herself.

The case is submitted to the Khabez District Court of the KCR, it will be considered by Judge Nariman Abdokov.

Tatyana Pasynkova is included in the list of extremists of Rosfinmonitoring. Her accounts are blocked.

The court granted Tatyana Pasynkova's petition for the admission of a public defender. The prosecutor reads out the charge. In his opinion, the believer's guilt lies in the fact that she "at an unspecified time and date, under circumstances not established by the investigation, joined the religious organization 'LRO SI in Nevinnomyssk' and became a member of it." At the same time, the indictment states that "MRO SI of Nevinnomyssk is not recognized as terrorist." The prosecutor also states that Pasynkova "kept technical means at her place of residence, namely a system unit from a personal computer ... and the book "Bible". The believer, among other things, is accused of the fact that during the investigation, "she, using the right provided for by Article 51 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, refused to give any testimony on the merits of suspicion of committing a crime."

Tatyana Pasynkova expresses her attitude to the charges: "Extremism in all its disgusting forms is alien to me. And this means that not only have I never been engaged in extremist activities, but I have never even thought of a motive of enmity or hatred towards anyone... I don't understand what I'm accused of."

The believer's defender adds: "The indictment does not contain a specific description of what manifestations of extremism provided for in Article 1 of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation 'On Countering Extremist Activity', when and under what circumstances my client allowed, what kind of statements or quotes of an extremist nature she uttered."

This is the third time that the judge in Tatyana's case has been changed. Nariman Abdokov recuses himself at the motion of the prosecutor, who pointed out that he is simultaneously considering a similar case against Yulia Pasynkova, Tatyana's daughter-in-law.

The case is assigned to a new judge, Aslanbek Tuarshev. Despite the objections of the prosecutor, he grants the petition of Tatyana Pasynkova to participate in the process of a public defender.

Tatyana Pasynkova makes her final statement.
