Tatiana Merzlyakova visited a resident of Udmurtia who was detained for terrorism

The Commissioner for Human Rights in the Sverdlovsk Region, Tatyana Merzlyakova, visited Evgenia Rogozin, a resident of Udmurtia (listed as an extremist and terrorist by Rosfinmonitoring), who is accused of making a terrorist threat for a comment.

"A member of the HRC, the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Sverdlovsk Region, Tatyana Merzlyakova, visited Evgenia Rogozin, a resident of the Udmurt Republic of Mozhga, in Yekaterinburg's SIZO-5, who is being tried in the Central District Military Court on charges of publicly calling for terrorist activities using the Internet," the Telegram channel of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation on development of civil society and Human Rights (HRC).

Merzlyakova noted that she would visit Rogozin and was not going to take the situation out of control. In addition, the Ombudsman found it strange that the operatives discovered Rogozin's comment in February 2025, whereas it was written in November 2024. She was also surprised that seven people came to detain the arrested woman.

In November 2024, Rogozin commented on a post in which the head of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, Oksana Lut, explained the record increase in butter prices by increasing the income level of Russians, with the words "burn the witch." In February of this year, she was charged under Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Public calls for terrorist activities using the Internet").

Earlier in the day, it became known that Rogozin had sent Oksana Lut a letter asking her to forgive her. On August 25, she explained her comment with indignation at the increased cost of groceries. She clarified that she wrote the comment and forgot about it, and now, because of a few words, not only she suffers, but also her family, including children, spouse, brother and parents.
