रूस ने गुलाग इतिहासकार की सजा और बढ़ाई / Gulag historian, activist Yuri Dmitriyev sentenced to 15 years
रूस के गुलाग शिविरों पर शोध करने वाले इतिहासकार यूरी दमित्रियेव की जेल की सजा को 13 साल से बढ़ा कर 15 साल कर दिया गया है. उनके समर्थकों का कहना है कि उन्हें उनके काम की वजह से सजा दी जा रही है. 65 साल के यूरी दमित्रियेव के समर्थकों का कहना है कि उन्हें इसलिए निशाना बनाया जा रहा है क्योंकि उन्होंने सोवियत काल की विभीषिकाओं को उजागर करने की कोशिश की थी. दमित्रियेव देश के सबसे जाने माने अधिकार समूह 'मेमोरियल' के स्थानीय प्रमुख भी हैं.
संभव है कि इसी सप्ताह 'मेमोरियल' को भी बंद कर दिया जाए. पिछले साल उत्तर-पश्चिमी रूस में एक अदालत ने दमित्रियेव को एक विवादास्पाद

The Petrozavodsk City Court thereby increased a jail sentence for the prominent Gulag historian to a total of 15 years in a penal colony. He was previously sentenced to 13 years on what his supporters insist are fabricated child sex charges.
Dmitriev has denied the accusations. The historian serves as a local head of the prominent Russian rights group Memorial, which may be shut down by the courts this week. "Yuri Dmitriyev hears the latest verdict against him — 15 years," Memorial said on Twitter. In the video, the 65-year-old is heard saying "Thank you for your support."
Supporters claim Dmitriyev, who has spent his career researching dark periods in Russia's history, is being targeted and punished for his work locating and exhuming mass graves of people killed under the rule of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin. Dmitriyev also helped open the Sandarmokh Memorial in memory of thousands of Stalin's victims who were murdered in 1937 and 1938…
