Network (Russia)
“Network” («Сеть») was allegedly an anti-government anarchist organization active in Russia in 2015–2017. Its alleged "members" were arrested in 2017 and sentenced on February 10, 2020 by the Russian military court in Penza to prison terms from 6 to 18 years. The case of “Network” caused a wide condemnation in Russia, with many protesting against the trials and sentencing. Andrei Kolesnikov from the Carnegie Moscow Center went on to label the story of the “Network” as “the return of Stalinist Show Trials”. According to Amnesty International's representative, the organization itself had never existed; Amnesty International had  previously expressed concern about torture and other ill-treatment used by FSB to extract confessions from the defendants. Memorial Society from Moscow also claimed that the whole case was fabricated and politically motivated, and designated the accused as political prisoners. "Network" is listed as a terrorist group in Russia.
