Investigator of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Kemerovo Region — Kuzbass, Yelizaveta Yakovtseva, initiated a criminal case against Kirill Tarasov, suspecting him of organizing the activity of an extremist organization.
The investigation has charged Tarasov under Article 282.2(1) of the RF CrC and is conducting an interrogation.
The Tsentralnyy District Court of Kemerovo placed Tarasov in a pretrial detention center.
Kirill Tarasov is held in a solitary cell in a basement room. It is dry, there is a window, and cold water is available. He can take a shower once a week.
Kirill suffers from asthma — he had an attack in the temporary detention facility, but conditions are better in the pretrial detention center and he has the necessary medication.
Kirill is able to communicate with his family and friends through letters — in his first 2 weeks in custody, he received more than 40 letters, including some from other countries.
