The Russian Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced 26-year-old Simferopol resident Alina Hrek to 15 years in a general regime colony. She was accused of alleged \u201ctreason,\u201d \u201cpreparation for a terrorist act,\u201d and \u201ctraining in terrorist activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Russian \u201ccourt,\u201d the verdict was announced on August 14, 2025, by Judge Pavel Gubarev. On January 22, 2024, Alina Hrek was detained, and her surname was added to the Rosfinmonitoring list of \u201cterrorists and extremists.\u201d In the Russian \u201clist of extremists,\u201d she is identified as a \u201cmember of an opposition youth organization.\u201d On Alina’s personal page on VKontakte, under \u201cHometown,\u201d it says: \u201cUkraine, Simferopol.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The case of Alina Hrek is yet another confirmation of the policy of terror and lawlessness pursued by the occupying country, Russia, in occupied Crimea. Since 2014, the occupiers have been conducting a large-scale repressive campaign against Ukrainian citizens on the temporarily occupied peninsula. The Kremlin has illegally introduced its own \u201clegislation\u201d in the occupied territories, using criminal law as an instrument of terror; the slightest signs of disobedience or resistance to the occupation regime lead to persecution \u2014 both administrative and criminal \u2014 on trumped-up charges. This practice is now systematic in occupied Crimea. As of August 18, the occupiers had illegally imprisoned 220 people, 133 of whom are Crimean Tatars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
