The prosecution has opened an administrative case against stand-up comedian Idrak Mirzalizadeh because of his jokes.
The case was opened under art. 20.3.1 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation “Incitement to hatred or enmity, as well as humiliation of human dignity”. As a TASS source clarified, this is a speech in which the comedian insulted the Russians.
Mirzalizada faces a fine of up to 20,000 rubles or compulsory labor up to 100 hours, or administrative arrest up to 15 days
Recall, earlier the comedian reported that two strangers attacked him in central Moscow. Mirzalizade believes the attack was ordered. Perhaps the reason for this is his joke about the Russians, shown in a fragment of the Razgony program. The comedian explained that the joke was taken out of context and then they started accusing him of Russophobia.
