Bogdan Ziza

Resident of Yevpatoria, artist. Detained on 16 May 2022, the day when an unknown person poured blue and yellow paint on the Yevpatoria administration building and threw a Molotov cocktail at it. The law enforcers published a video in which Ziza admits guilt. His friend believes that the artist could have confessed under pressure. Later, Ziza himself said that the officers beat him in order to achieve "more sincere repentance". Ziza was charged with attempted terrorist act. He was taken into custody. According to unconfirmed reports, a case of attempted damage or destruction of property has also been opened, but this article is not included in the final version of the charges. In addition, cases of vandalism and public justification of terrorism have been opened because of the video manifesto that Ziza planned to publish. According to the article on committing a terrorist act, the final version of the case contains two episodes: the throw is qualified as a terrorist act proper, the phrase in the video that more will come - as a threat of a terrorist act. After the prosecution asked him for 18 years in a strict regime colony, Ziza went on hunger strike. On 6 June 2023, he was sentenced to 15 years in a high-security colony. On 27 June, Ziza ended his hunger strike.
