Russia: Blogger Sentenced to 14 Days in Prison for Insulting Putin

Stanislav Morozov was sentenced to 14 days of administrative detention in Penza for posting a video of his vote in the legislative elections, in which he insulted Vladimir Putin. The court cited 'petty hooliganism' without detailing the specific offense. Morozov was already under surveillance by authorities, having previously been targeted by the FSB for alleged calls to extremism. This incident comes shortly after the State Duma elections, which were marked by restrictions on political competition.
