In a bizarre turn of events, a Russian woman from Krasnodar has claimed that she was fined by the police authorities for sharing an image of a tote bag with a text that stated, "Sex is cool, but President Putin's death is better."

The woman, identified only as Aleksandra, was ordered to pay a hefty fine of 30,000 rubles (approximately 25,872 Rupees) on the grounds of "discrediting the Russian military," as per a report from independent local news outlet Mediazone.

The charges against Aleksandra stemmed from a series of screenshots taken from her personal Instagram account, which depicted a cotton bag with blue English text reading, "Sex is cool, but President Putin's death is better." Additionally, the images showed another bag adorned with the phrase "No to war" and various graffiti expressing dissent against Russia's ongoing military involvement in Ukraine.

The incident unfolded when plainclothes officers arrived at Aleksandra's home on June 28 and brought her to the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for questioning. During the interrogation, she was confronted about LGBTQ "propaganda" on her tattoos, and the officers forced her to display her tattoos, including one depicting a dog wearing a rainbow scarf with the words, "The dog is gay."

The authorities prevented Aleksandra from seeking legal counsel and even taunted her by commenting on her mother, a teacher, questioning how she "had such an ill-mannered daughter." This troubling behavior exhibited by the officers has raised concerns about human rights violations.

The incident has been highlighted by the human rights group Sphere. After enduring the harrowing ordeal, Aleksandra was finally fined over $2,000 by the Magistrate's Court. Alongside the charge of "discrediting," she was also penalized for "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations." It is worth noting that even in court, the police struggled to justify the offensiveness of Aleksandra's tattoos.

Addressing the shocking incident, Aleksandra expressed sadness about the dangerous environment that has emerged, making it objectionable and unsafe for her to express her opinion, even on her small social media page. While she remains uncertain about how she was targeted, she believes it may have been the result of a denunciation from someone who spotted her open page.

In light of ongoing safety concerns, Aleksandra declined to comment further and requested that her face not be shown. This incident raises questions about freedom of expression and the extent to which individuals can freely express their opinions online without fear of severe consequences.

As this story continues to unfold, it serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting individual rights and the need to address any potential abuses of power within law enforcement.
