The mother of director Oleg Sentsov, sentenced to 20 years in prison on charges of terrorism, appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin to pardon his son. Ludmila Sentsova’s request was published by the radio station “Echo of Moscow”.
“All the mothers love their children, they want freedom and happiness. It’s hard for me to judge the extent of my own son’s fault, although I know him as a peaceful citizen and a person trapped in his profession – filmmaking. I will not convince you to be innocent of Oleg, I just say that he did not kill anyone, he already spent four years in jail, his children are waiting for him, the youngest son suffers from autism, they are bad without him, they will never be happy without a father,” wrote Lyudmila Sentsova.
