Why does this seem to me to be like anti-Russian propaganda from some Western rag known to print lied?
Super awful and mis-carriage of justice, if true and kid just did Internet search like article says he says.
Otherwise, joining anti-state groups is risky business in any country!
Also, not to be whataboutist, but this kid is white, and the US ruins thousands of black kids’ lives every fucking year on far weaker charges.
And if the media even mentions any of it, the take is only ever: “Oh dear, whatever is to be done?”
Furthermore, it really does sound like what the US actually did to Julian Assange.
