Case 0 — background to the prosecution

519702_OSCE.pdf

What this concerns. PC.DEL/526/22 is a statement by the delegation of the Russian Federation of 07.04.2022 in the OSCE Permanent Council, the second direct mention of UnKremlin e.V. In it the organisation is described as “known for Russophobic views” and accused of publishing addresses and photographs of Russian journalists’ apartments and calling on Chechen refugees to remember them. This too is a delegation’s statement, not a finding by the OSCE itself. Detailed context with full quotations, Germany’s reply and a complete source list: Dossier on OSCE mentions.
Alternative hypothesisEven a public mention close in time may exist without a causal connection to subsequent criminal events.
What is missingThe mere time interval between this statement and later events is no substitute for evidence of specific acts or responsibilities. Whether this material was known in the criminal proceedings against me and what significance it had there cannot be determined from the delegation statement alone. None of its assertions is supported by primary evidence.
