18 Years’ Imprisonment for Alleged “Terrorism”
Mark Davydov (Rus. Марк Давыдов)
Date of birth: 23 November 1972
Abducted since: 2019
Last known location: Crimean Peninsula
Mark is the father of three children. He had previously lived in Crimea and worked at the children’s camp “Artek” during the Russian occupation.
Abduction
After learning about the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Syria, he decided to support the civilian population through monetary donations. As a result, he was sentenced to 18 years’ imprisonment on charges of “terrorism” (Article 205 of the Russian Criminal Code). He is currently being held in Penal Colony No. 3 in the city of Skopin (Ryazan Region, Russian Federation). The organisation with which he was allegedly associated was designated as “terrorist” in Russia only one year after his arrest in 2019. In Ukraine, this organisation is not considered “terrorist”.
Health Status
Unfortunately, no information is available regarding his current health status.
