The petition opposes the threatened deportation of Dmitry Bagrash to the Russian Federation and also calls for an independent review of the documented procedural defects in his criminal trial. It thus brings together two aspects closely connected in this case: protection against deportation under Art. 3 EMRK and the UN Convention against Torture, and investigation of the procedural defects (the missing chain of legal provisions in the judgment, unsigned decisions, and late transmission of the case files before the hearing on 24.06.2026).
What the petition specifically calls for
- No deportation to Russia — given the publicly documented political activity against the Putin regime, there is a threat of persecution, torture and danger to life there.
- Immediate and complete access to the case files — including all current submissions by the prosecution service.
- Lawful criticism, complaints and video messages must not be used against him as evidence of a lack of “rehabilitation”.
- A comprehensive investigation of the documented defects in the records and judgment, missing signatures on judicial documents and the unexplained intelligence-service lead.
As evidence of the political background, the petition refers, among other things, to two OSCE documents that explicitly describe the work of Unkremlin e.V. as “hostile from the Russian perspective”, and to the designation of the association as an “undesirable organisation” by the Russian Prosecutor General's Office (2023).
Who the petition is addressed to
Scientific risk assessment: individual risk in the event of deportation
On 2 July 2026, the International Association “Institute for National Policy” (Kyiv, identification code: 41941956, document no. IA-INP/SG-2026-001) produced a scientific and practical expert report on the individual risk assessment for Dmitry Bagrash in the event of transfer to the Russian Federation.
The report expressly assesses not the general human rights situation in Russia in isolation, but the cumulative effect of individually documented risk factors: public visibility as an activist critical of the regime, the activities of Unkremlin e.V. (designated by Russia as an “undesirable organisation”), and the naming of the organisation in official OSCE statements by the Russian delegation.
