Biography
Arrested on 15 January 2015. She was forced to write a confession by deceit. On 3 March 2016, she was sentenced to seven years in a general regime colony on charges of state treason for sending information about the redeployment of the Russian Armed Forces to Timur Buskadze, a Georgian police officer. The defence lawyer was late in filing an appeal.
In December, the lawyers of "Team-29" filed an application to restore the deadlines for the appeal. The Krasnodar Regional Court refused to restore the deadlines.
Pardoned on 7 March 2017, released on 12 March.
