The russian magistrate court of Simferopol found the lawyer guilty of publishing "inaccurate information about the work of the military enlistment office" and imposed a fine of 30 thousand russian rubles (about 13 thousand UAH).
The russian law enforcement agencies concluded that Kurbedinov's post allegedly "is socially significant information and presented as a reliable message".
In addition, the lawyer's personal telegram channel is considered "a place accessible to an unlimited number of users," so the post is allegedly classified as a public publication.
Kurbedinov himself called this decision a continuation of pressure on lawyers in Crimea. On February 15, the lawyer was detained in Simferopol by the officers of the russian center for countering extremism. A report was drawn up against Kurbedinov under the article "Abuse of freedom of mass information".
