March 4, 2024In the Volyn region, a court sentenced a 55-year-old pensioner to 6 months of jail for evading mobilization, local media report.
The man has 5 children, two of whom are minors. His wife was hospitalized, and he couldn’t report to the mobilization point because she requires constant care. By the age of 55, he has accumulated a heap of illnesses, from high blood pressure to varicose veins.
The first-instance court sentenced him to a suspended term, but prosecutors were not satisfied with this outcome. They decided to appeal to have him sentenced to three years in prison. The appellate court did not grant the prosecutors’ request and instead imposed 6 months of arrest. The prosecution side justifies its desire to imprison this man by stating that everyone needs to be punished indiscriminately. Thus, other people will allegedly go to war under the threat of ending up in prison.
