Russian prosecutors seek a 6-year prison term for activist Yarolsav Shirshikov for social media comments about late pro-war blogger Vladlen Tatarsky. In separate cases, courts in Grozny and Russian-annexed Crimea sentenced individuals to prison terms for burning the Quran, with one receiving 3.5 years and the other 2.5 years. The Grozny case involved a man beaten in pre-trial detention by Adam Kadyrov. Another Russian man received a 3.5-year jail term in Chechnya for burning a Quran, citing insulting believers' feelings and religious hatred-based hooliganism. Oleg Orlov faced a retrial resulting in a 2.5-year prison sentence for discrediting Russian troops, drawing comparisons to Kafka's 'The Trial.'
