Ex-Pussy Riot Member Pyotr Verzilov Added to Russias List of Terrorists and Extremists
Russian Canadian activist Pyotr Verzilov has been added to Russia’s list of “terrorists and extremists” by the country’s state financial watchdog Rosfinmonitoring, the Moscow Times reported last week.
Verzilov is a former member of the anti-Kremlin performance art group Pussy Riot and one of the founders of Mediazona, an independent Russian news agency focused on anti-Putinist opposition.
Earlier this year, he was sentenced to more than eight years in prison in absentia under Russia’s wartime censorship laws.
He was accused of spreading misinformation about the Russian army.
Verzilov, 37, travelled to Ukraine at the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion in to shoot a documentary – but he ended up joining the Ukrainian military.
He is also being investigated by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) for treason.
