This was reported by ZMINA journalists.

On December 28, the illegal "judge" of the so-called "Feodosia City Court" Natalia Kulinska announced the verdict for nurse and civilian journalist Irina Danilovich. Kulinska sentenced her to 7 years in prison, and the public figure must pay 50 thousand rubles to the Russian army. 

Before that, Irina Danilovich was kidnapped by Russian FSB officers. She was beaten and strangled, her condition deteriorated significantly. Then Russian security forces accused Irina of possessing an improvised explosive device. 

In her speech during the last word, Irina Danilovich spoke about the Crimeans who were forcibly abducted by the Russian forces, particularly, the following names of missing Ukrainians were mentioned: Rizvan Abduramanov, Marcel Alyautdinov, Eskender Apseliamov, Arsen Suyunov, Shevket Aripov, Ivan Bondarets, Valeriy Vashchuk, Maksym Kaplienko, Fedir Kostenko, Kateryna Klapova, Vasyl Chernysh, Arsen Aliyev, Mukhtar Arislanov, Ruslan Geniev, Islam Dzhepparov, Seyran Zinedinov, Erwin Ibrahimov, Dzhevdet Islamov, Arlen Terekhov, Timur Sheymardanov, Reshat Ametov. 

"People without faces and names, confidence in their boundless power and impunity, kidnap people, illegally depriving them of their liberty, torture them, rob their homes. And then, to hide or justify their atrocities, they initiate criminal cases against these people, plant explosives, drugs, or whatever they can imagine in their personal belongings or homes," the public figure said.

Irina Danilovich is a journalist, nurse and public activist from Feodosia. She collaborated with the publication "INzhyr media" and the human rights project "Crimean Process". ZMINA also writes that Irina Danilovich joined an independent medical trade union and defended the rights and interests of healthcare workers.

Russian FSB forces abducted the woman on April 29, and until May 7 she was held without any status or assistance from lawyers.

"They interrogated her on a polygraph, exerted psychological pressure: promised to take her to the forest, to Mariupol and feed her once a day," the journalists informed. 

Later, an explosive was "found" with the woman.
