The father of the accused in the “anti-war case” was fired from his job

The father of 16-year-old schoolboy Egor Balazeykin, suspected of setting fire to two military enlistment centers, was dismissed from his job after a visit by investigators. The superiors explained to Daniel Balazeykin his dismissal by the fact that he “doesn’t like the company”. This is reported by Politzek-Info.

Balazeykin worked in this company for three years as an electrician and had no complaints from the management.

Egor Balazeykin is in a pre-trial detention center in St. Petersburg. He was detained at the end of February in the city of Kirovsk on charges of attempting to set fire to the military enlistment office. Initially, he was charged with hooliganism, but then the charge was reclassified as a terrorist act. Later, a second criminal case was opened against the schoolboy – also about the attempted arson of the military enlistment office, but already in St. Petersburg.

Balazeykin reported that the FSB officers who came to see him in the pretrial detention center threatened to beat him, rape him, or send him to a psychiatric hospital. It is also known that he suffers from a serious chronic disease that requires constant treatment.

• Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian army in Ukraine and the mobilization associated with it, attacks on the buildings of military enlistment offices and administrations have become more frequent in different cities of Russia. At least forty similar cases are known, criminal cases were initiated in several regions. The General Staff of Russia announced that cases of arson of military enlistment centers would be considered acts of terrorism and would be punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
