A court in the northwestern Russian city of Pskov has sentenced a man to seven years jail time for treason.
Sergei Lõhmus, who reportedly has dual Estonian-Russian dual citizenship, was found guilty Friday, BNS reports, and will be incarcerated in a strict regime-based prison.
Russian news agency TASS reported that Lohmus completely admitted his guilt, citing a Federal Security Service (FSB – the Russian Federation s primary internal security organization) source.
The FSB has otherwise been tight-lipped on the charges lodged against Lõhmus, and no public comments have been issued, BNS reports.
The trial itself was held behind closed doors at the court in Pskov, a little over 30 km from the border with Estonia.
In addition to drawing attention to threats from the Russian Federation, Estonia must also advocate other international issues, including those which it, Russia, can take a more positive role in and would add value to the West s relations with Estonia s eastern neighbor, Deputy Chair of the Riigikogu s Foreign Affairs Committee Marko Mihkelson (Reform) told Vikerraadio show Välistund Monday.
Reiterating earlier foreign ministry declarations on the matter, Mihkelson, and fellow guest and outgoing foreign minister Urmas Reinsalu (Isamaa) said that additional sanctions should be imposed on Russia following Sunday s arrest of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, immediately after touching down in Moscow from a flight from Germany.
