Rostov journalist Reznik sentenced to three years

Sergey Reznik was found guilty on all incriminated articles. The above verdict was imposed with account of the decision of the Pervomaiskiy District Court of November 26, 2013, which sentenced the journalist to 1.5 years in prison.

Reznik, who has completely denied his guilt, was also awarded an additional penalty of a two-year ban on working for the media.
