Human rights activist Iryna Danylovych, a nurse and journalist in Crimea, was sentenced to seven years in prison after a court set up by Moscow on the Russian-annexed peninsula found her guilty of “carrying an explosive device.” human rights defenders as “fake” and “illegal”, writes The Guardian.

Journalist Iryna Danylovych was sentenced to seven years in a general regime colony by the court of the city of Feodosia in Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, the Kyiv-based Institute of Mass Information (IMI) reported.

The Russian Security Service (FSB) accused Danylovych of manufacturing an explosive device and keeping it with him, reports IMI.

She was also fined 50,000 rubles on charges of “illegal possession and manufacture of explosives.”

In April, Iryna Danylovych disappeared on her way home from work and was allegedly sentenced by the Russian authorities to 10 days of administrative arrest on the charge of “transferring unclassified information to a foreign state,” lawyer Ayder Azamatov told her. Russia at the time refused to confirm whether she had been arrested, where she would be held and by whom.

Her family told CNN at the time that Russian special police officers searched her home in the village of Vladyslavivka near Feodosia and took the family’s laptops and phones.

The representative of the Crimean human rights group, Volodymyr Chekrygin, stated that the investigation into Iryna Danylovych was illegal, and she was actually kidnapped by FSB officers: “All the so-called investigation against her was illegal. After the abduction, Iryna was kept in the basement of the FSB office and subjected to various forms of pressure and intimidation, even torture. She was beaten and strangled.”

The case of Iryna Danylovych was part of a series of disappearances of activists and journalists in Russian-occupied Crimea.
