Dmitry Gordon was arrested in absentia in Russia in absentia

The Basmanny Court of Moscow in absentia imprisoned Ukrainian journalist Dmitry Gordon. Russian media write about this.

The journalist is accused of spreading knowingly false information about the course of the actions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, in public calls to unleash an aggressive war and in actions aimed at stimulating hatred or hostility with the threat of violence.

“The court satisfied the request against Dmitry Gordon to choose a preventive measure in the form of detention in absentia,” the court said.

The reason for the investigation was that the journalist on television air called for a “aggressive war using nuclear weapons.” He was put on the federal wanted list in Russia.

In April, Gordon was included in the list of organizations and individuals who are considered involved in extremist activity or terrorism.
