Artyom was convicted in November 2021 under the article "organizing or actively participating in group actions that grossly violate public order" for expressing his civic position. Human rights activists view his prosecution, imprisonment, and charges as "politically motivated punishment for exercising the right to peaceful assembly and expressing an opinion on the results of the August 2020 presidential elections."
