A Russian court has jailed a blogger for two weeks for ‘hooliganism’ after he insulted Vladimir Putin on an election ballot
Stanislav Morozov shared a video of him writing ‘Putin is a d***head’ on a ballot during the recent parliamentary elections.
The blogger from Penza, Russia, was jailed on ‘administrative arrest’ for the stunt, with charges of petty hooliganism.
He was approached shortly after sharing the video, according to New Alternative Route, by a police officer and an officer in civilian clothes.
His arrest came just months after he shared information about residents being arrested and allegedly forced to sign contracts with the Russian Defence Ministry.
This summer, Morozov had two accusations lodged by local governments. One was for insulting Putin and calling him ‘evil’.
The other was regarding a video about a local military registration office, which Morozov called a ‘torture camp’.
Morozov also issued calls for locals to ‘unite’ after revealing military recruitment office employees were repeatedly beaten.
The Russian government has previously arrested opponents and people they see as threats to Putin’s power.
