U.S. State Department condemns Russia's sentence of Ukrainian political prisoner Pavlo Hryb

Pavlo Hryb was tried in Russia on trumped-up "terrorist" charges as investigators claim he instructed an accomplice to set off an explosive device at a Russian schoolyard. He was just 19 when he was abducted by the FSB from Belarus on August 24, 2017, after going there to meet who he thought was a young woman he had chatted with online, and fallen in love with.

Hryb is diagnosed with portal hypertension, which requires daily intake of necessary medications and a special diet, the lack of which could become fatal.

It's clearly wrong if he said he wanted to shoot up a (Russian) school.. I think he is accused of saying that in internet chat....so that is a big "IF"...

To be abducted in Belarus by FSB (Russian) agents seems to be wrong. Poland has also come out against the abduction.
