Full wording of the charges
The case stemmed from a protest action on the anniversary of the beginning of the war at the monument to Taras Shevchenko: Sultanbegova laid flowers at the monument and left three signs with the following inscriptions: "24.02.2022 - Day of Shame", "Forgive us Ukraine", and "Bucha, Irpen, Kyiv, Dnipro, Vinnitsa, Odessa, Kharkiv, Kherson, Donetsk, Lugansk, Izyum, Gostomel". In March 2022, she was fined 30,000 rubles under the administrative article on discrediting the army (Article 20.3.3 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation) because of her avatar with the inscription "No to war". Additionally, at the end of April this year, the Leninsky District Court of Krasnodar received another administrative case against the activist under the same article - it was drawn up because of a story on Instagram featuring an anti-war drawing by schoolgirl Masha Moskaleva from the town of Efremov in the Tula region (the girl's father was sentenced to two years in a criminal case of discrediting the army).
