After the verdict was announced, many people who had come to the court to support Sasha began chanting &#8220;Shame!&#8221; loudly, and Sasha herself was escorted out of the courtroom to loud applause.<\/p>\n<p>The St. Petersburg artist has been in custody since April 2022. In March 2022, Sasha replaced price tags in a local grocery store in St. Petersburg with anti-war stickers. Sasha was denounced by a local pensioner who was outraged by the inscription: &#8220;The Russian army bombed an art school in Mariupol. About 400 people were hiding there from the shelling&#8221;. Skochilenko admitted that she had distributed the stickers, but claimed that the information was not false, so she did not plead guilty.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the investigation, Sasha Skochilenko&#8217;s defence repeatedly requested that Sasha be released under house arrest or with travel restrictions, as she has numerous health problems, including gluten intolerance, a heart defect and bipolar affective disorder. Despite this, Sasha was sentenced to 7 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about Sasha Skochilenko&#8217;s case <a href=\"https:\/\/www.igfm.de\/sascha-skotschilenko\/\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo: Anton Vaganov, Reuters<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist Sasha Skochilenko sentenced to 7 years in prison for anti-war stickers On November 16, 2023, the Vasileostrovsky District Court of St. Petersburg sentenced Sasha Skochilenko, accused of spreading false information about the Russian army, to 7 years in prison.
