The court rejected the appeal of the publisher of the Ufa "Proofs" to cancel the fine.
In early October, a judge of the Kirovsky district Ufa Indira Valieva recognized media manager To Rauf Rakhimov guilty of "discrediting" the Russian army and fined it 30 thousands rubles. The reason for this was Rakhimova's posts on her VKontakte page, where she expressed sympathy to those killed in Ukraine and their families.
In August, when news of the administrative case broke, Rakhimova was on vacation abroad. She did not attend the initial hearings, and propaganda outlets rushed to accuse her of fleeing.
In early November, Rakhimova returned to Ufa and attended the appellate court hearings in person. At the same time, she said she was informed of the republic's leadership's plans to file a second report against her, which could lead to criminal prosecution.
«I'm not afraid because I have Faith in my heart. Faith in justice and reason. I decided long ago to accept this test as a compliment, as an experience given to me from above.“,” Rakhimova emphasized.
The publisher plans to appeal the judge's decision. Khakim Akhmedzhanov in the cassation instance.
