The St. Petersburg Times - Extremist Jailed For Inciting Racism

Dmitry Bobrov, the 25-year-old leader of St. Petersburg extremist youth group Schultz-88, has been sentenced to six years in prison for inciting racial hatred and encouraging juveniles to join an extremist group. Bobrov and six fellow members of the group faced charges including hooliganism, inciting racial hatred and forming an extremist organization. The crimes in the Schultz 88 case include an attack on a McDonald’s restaurant on Nevsky Prospekt in 2003, an assault on an Azeri man in the Nevsky district, an attack on two Chinese students at the Dostoyevskaya metro station, and two attacks against Armenians at the Alexandrovskaya railway station. Six other defendants in the case were all either acquitted or received suspended sentences. Charges of incitement of racial hatred are rarely brought in Russian courts. siehe auch: Petersburger Neonazi-Chef muss ins Gefängnis.
