Participation in Columbine threatens up to life imprisonment

The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation warned that participation in Columbine carries criminal liability up to life imprisonment, TASS reports.

“For organizing or participating in the activities of a terrorist organization, criminal liability is provided up to life imprisonment,” the department explained.

Earlier it became known that the Supreme Court of Russia recognized Columbine as a terrorist movement and banned it. The lawsuit for the ban was filed by the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation.

“Recognize the youth movement Columbine* – another name for Schoolshooting* – as terrorist and ban its activities,” the judge said.

The meeting was held behind closed doors and lasted about two hours.

The State Duma in 2018 adopted a law on measures to combat the creators of the so-called columbine communities. On the basis of this law, Roskomnadzor organized work to block prohibited information. In 2020-2021, more than 750 references were added to the Columbine Prohibited Information Registry.
