An appellate military court has reviewed the verdict in a “justifying terrorism” case against Russian sociologist Boris Kagarlitsky and upped his sentence to five years in prison, report RIA Novosti and TASS.

In December, a military court fined Kagarlitsky 600,000 rubles ($6,570) and banned him from administering websites for two years. The prosecution appealed the verdict, saying it was “unjust due to its excessive leniency.”

In late July 2023, Kagarlitsky was arrested in Moscow and accused of justifying terrorism for an online post about the 2022 Crimean Bridge explosion. Since then, he has been in pre-trial detention.
