“The law says that jurisdiction calls for the separation or violation of territorial integrity. In the law there is no word about a statement of fact, and even the statement of opinion that does not coincide with the state. Judge me for it, and Suleiman Kadyrov can not be too. All the people that have been convicted of it, political prisoners and innocent. That’s what I’m campaigning to be illegal to condemn in silence,” said Sobchak RIA Novosti.
